[response to Kent Hovind's blog]
I just watched your video “The Truth about the age of the Earth and Evolution. I really enjoyed it and think you did an awesome job, however, I think you (Kent Hovind) and your researchers should dig more into facts about a geocentric vs heliocentric universe. Scripture says the earth is not moving. There are some good books and websites dealing with a fixed earth. This heliocentric theory opened the door for evolution and its acceptance. This could just be another weapon in your arsonal to promote Jahshuwah’s Kingdom and fustrate the NWO bankster plans!

"I just watched your video “The Truth about the age of the Earth and Evolution."
That's too bad.
"I really enjoyed it and think you did an awesome job, however, I think you (Kent Hovind) and your researchers should dig more into facts about a geocentric vs heliocentric universe."
I think so too. It might help keep "Dr." Dino off the streets. Plus, Hovind is just the kind of Fundie moron to buy in to this geocentric crap.
"Scripture says the earth is not moving."
Proving that the Bible is NOT the source of all truth.
"There are some good books and websites dealing with a fixed earth."
No, no good book would promote such utter nonsense.
"This heliocentric theory opened the door for evolution and its acceptance."
Don't be such an asshat. The only thing a heliocentric view of the solar system and the ToE have in common is that they are both based on scientific evidence. Similarly, creationism and geocentrism are both based on the babblings of ancient, desert tribesmen.
"This could just be another weapon in your arsonal to promote Jahshuwah’s Kingdom and fustrate the NWO bankster plans!"
Another insipid apologist weapon. Ooh, I'm shakin' already.
"Jahshuwah’s Kingdom?" What is this, the winner of the most creative spelling of Joshua contest?
Damn that'd be some inspired trolling... I'd be proud of that if that was me.
to paraphrase:
Dear Kent, I loved your immensely stupid video, if I was to offer any criticism at all, it wasn't actually stupid enough and here's some strawmen not even you're stupid enough to touch!
P.S. Have fun in prison you douche-bag!
We abandoned the geocentric universe model because we realized that to make a geocentric theory work would require the planets and other heavenly bodies to have orbits requiring more than 3 physical dimensions to accomplish.
A heliocentric model fits all observed data precisely.
Hell, I don't know ANYONE who still holds to a geocentric model. Not even Fred Phelps or Pat Robertson.
I think what he means by the heliocentric model opening the door for evolution is that it was one of the early, definitive breaks from the "Scripture Is The Source Of All Truth" doctrine. Idiots like this simply want everyone to ignore all evidence that the Bible might NOT be the be-all-end-all of human knowledge.
Abaddon: Thanks for the link, hadn't heard that. In the article it says "Over Kent Hovind's protests, the judge took away his passport and guns Hovind claimed belonged to his church."
Yeah, don't take the church guns, we might need them this sunday during the sermon! WTF? I have nothing against guns, I have some myself, but what the hell?
Sandman, a ~legitimate~ christian church doesn't need them for anything. We're talking about Hovind's pet cult here, they might believe that guns are God's magic wands, who knows.
This could just be another weapon in your arsonal to promote Jahshuwah’s Kingdom and fustrate the NWO bankster plans!
"arsonal"?
What, is Hovind planning to burn down the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History now?
<<< I think you (Kent Hovind) and your researchers should dig more into facts about a geocentric vs heliocentric universe. >>>
I wish he would. He'd either become even more laughable, or he'd realize, "Hey, maybe the Bible isn't right about everything after all!" (My bet's on the former, sadly).
<<< Scripture says the earth is not moving. >>>
The Bible's opinion on cosmology isn't worth a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys.
<<< There are some good books and websites dealing with a fixed earth. >>>
If by "good" you mean "so moronic that they're fucking hilarious", maybe. That's about the only way any such book could be considered "good".
Dear Overcomer,
I sincerely applaud you for your bold challenge to the erroneous beliefs of heliocentricity. I too am a geocentrist, and a great fan of Kent Hovind!
Pay no attention to the fools who have criticized you. They have no fear of God and are merely wise in their own eyes. We must remember that if it is God's will, he will open their eyes, and if not, he will blind them and prevent them from finding the truth. This is his perfect plan and thought it may seem discouraging we must always remember to rely on God for support!
Yours in Christ,
Zach Doty
Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
<<< We must remember that if it is God's will, he will open their eyes, and if not, he will blind them and prevent them from finding the truth. >>>
So much for free will, then. And mercy, justice, and pretty much every other good thing you claim about your God.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
