There is an uncritical article on Kent Hovind in Stars and Stripes:

If anyone here is in the military or is a military vetern you might want to send a polite letter to the editor pointing out problems with the "article."

That article was something else. I found this particularly amusing:

“Evolution caused World War II,” he said.

Followed by (a few lines later):

"His qualifications to talk about the subject are questioned."

You think?

For what little credit it's worth: They don't call him Dr. Hovind....

I can't imagine any editor let that article pass without at least a smirk.

Unless I want to know something about being a military wife, I'll pick someone else to determine what is truth.

The Rat posted this one on Skeptic Friends. When I got done laughing, then feeling a bit sad about the low estate to which Stars and Stripes has sunk, I put up this link:

For those who haven't seen it, it's Dr? Dino in a nutshell. You can almost hear him producing methane (from the wrong end).

Is that a new porno version?

He's quite right. No evolution, no primates. No primates, no Hitler. No Hitler, no World War II. Makes perfect sense to me...

Actually, though Hovind is nuts, evolution IS just a theory.

So is gravity.

So is quantum mechanics.

So is special and general relativity.


But they are pretty good theories.

Your point is well made, but evolution is more than a theory. That living thngs have evolved by descent with modification from common ancestors is a scientific fact. The theory of evolution is a scientific explanation for how this occurred.

Are you sure that I was not just trying to cut back on
e's. :-)

BTW thanks GunnerJ for fixing the problem.
