If evolution is true, you could not know that it's true because your brain is nothing but chemicals. Think about that.

Lawl, dualism...
Neuroscience has shown the mind/body dualistic assumption to be bullshit, shame Kent has ignored this. Then again he is a fucktard.
And, if the human mind needs to be something more than chemicals, what about animal brains? Or are those poor littl' critters merely soulless chemical robots?
Cake is made of flour, therefore it doesn't taste nice. Think about that .
Why do people listen to what this ass has to say?
My anterior cingulate cortex has received the actylcholine released by the propagated membrane depolarisation caused by the sensory input of your argument and compared it with the similar chemical signal caused by the amygdala reacting to the familiar concepts contained in that sensory input and activating the neurons in my brain that encode the patterns laid down by previous exposure to those and related concepts.
The conflict between the two signals has been resolved in favour of the much stronger signal produced by many coherent impressions received from repeated exposure to actual neurophysiology once a long time ago.
In other words; thought about it, you're wrong.
What's to think about? You've just said we can't because our brains are all chemicals. Hell, we can't even have electro/neural impulses, so we can't walk talk, take any action or have any intelligence - well, some of us for sure!
Reminds me of a Lyall Watson observation: If the human brain was simple enough to understand, humans would be too simple to understand it.
Hovind (or the troll using his name here) falls into the extremely simple category.
"If the bible is true, how come kent didn't render to caesar?"
well you see ceasar is dead and the bible doesn't say "render unto ceasar or the US government if you happen to be in their jurisdiction" so he figured cheating the IRS didn't count.
It could be a troll but Kent says so many stupid things it would be no challenge. I think Kents capable of taking absurb to a whole new level.
Hey Kent, If God is real Dinosaurs would have never existed. Not in your perfect God world
that's chemistry, not evolution. if you believe in CHEMISTRY, then your brain is nothing but chemicals.
if you believe in alchemy and yahweh, then your brain is magic fairy dust and angel turd
That's about as logic as saing "If you believe in the atomic theory, this table isn't really a table, it's just a bunch of atoms stuck together".
The sheer DUH-ness of it just makes me cringe. How can he not realize they're the same thing.
Just, WHAT is the brain made of then, Kent?
"And if you take cranberries and stew them like applesause
they taste much more like prunes than rubarb does."

Makes more sense, doesn't it? Not only that it's a good rebuttle to most of Hovinds "theories".
If evolution is true, you could not know that it's true because your brain is nothing but chemicals. Think about that.
Firstly, you fail at English:
If evolution was true, you could not know that it's true, because your brain would be nothing but chemicals. Think about that.
Secondly, the brain is indeed (primarily) made of various proteins, which are complex chains of hydrocarbons, i.e., organic compounds made of Hydrogen/Carbon/Oxygen, i.e., "chemicals".
Thirdly, tax evasion is a petty crime.
If in three years time your rectum is reduced to nothing but chemicals, you'll be lucky, Kentypoos.
You know HIV is rampant in US prisons, don't you? That concept should reduce your brain to chemicals. With worry . >:D
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
