I debated [Dr Stephen Meyer] once. He is a legend in his own mind. My understanding is he got a doctors degree from a university he started just to grant him a doctors degree. It's a university with no students and he's the president. [...] I would be glad to debate him again if we could get him to stick to the topic of Creation/Evolution but it is always ad hominem attacks.

Goldmine here, by the way:

Fucktons of strawmen, like:
Do you know chimpanzees are still having babies? Why don't they make another human?

And:
Teaching the pagan religion of evolutionism is a waste of valuable class time and textbook space. It is also one of the reasons American kids don't test as well in science as kids in other parts of the world.

And this horrible statement:
The Trail of Tears was where the Cherokee Indians were driven out of the Chattanooga area all the way to Oklahoma. One third of the entire nation died en route. That took place here in America as they were driven from their homes. Evolution is largely responsible for what happened to the Indians.

old comment by John

Hovind is a Biblical young-earth creationist (YEC). Meyer is an Intelligent Design supporter. Meyers has stated "It seems to me that God used evolution to create life on earth", so he's really more a supporter of theistic evolution. It's not surprising that Meyers and Hovind, an extreme IFB fundie, would clash. Furthermore, Hovind often continues to use arguments that even fellow creationists admit have been discredited, which many creationists feel makes them look stupid. [ed. even stupider].

Here is an interesting article by Meyers telling of his gradual abandonment of hard-core fundamentalism and YEC:
