Ken Hovind is a showman who spouts utter nonsense. Jill if you look earlier in this thread you will see a link Russ gave to a video of a lecture of his, some of which I watched with utter amazement and horror, mixed with some good laughs. He does things like show photographic "proof" that trees have been found fossilised upside-down in rock strata, and display cartoons of spoons evolving into forks because it, um, demonstrates how silly the idea of evolution must be. He cites examples from texts but doesn't display the source texts clearly, they flash by very quickly, and he lifts sentences here and there to ridicule without giving the audience the chance to have a good look at their source or context. In short, anyone with half a brain or less might lap it up if they believe this stuff in the first place but I can't see how he would convince anyone else.
SoSick, you haven't said a thing about the list I gave earlier. Creationists need to look at what we've learned about the wider universe, as well as what's happened on earth. How about that light from galaxies that is billions of years old? What is the cosmic microwave background doing out there, waiting to cook our ready-meals? (It's actually only a few degrees above absolute zero). I expect creationists have got their idea that explain away these kinds of things too?
