Eric Hovind’s Christian Arrogance

Kent Hovind being in prison doesn’t do much to contain the stupid for which he is famous. Even when he’s taking it easy, his son is busy trying hard to be just as ignorant as his father. Just listen to this:

My apologies for not posting parts 3 and 4 of the eye opening short series with Sye and I…which is exactly what this argument is to the Atheistic world view, Cyanide.

While, I suppose, somewhat originally phrased, this is something that’s been heard for decades now. You can rest assured that atheism isn’t going anywhere, that neither Eric or Kent Hovind, nor anyone else, will present anything remotely like “cyanide to the atheistic worldview”. But thanks for capitalizing Atheism though, even if there’s no reason to…

You see, the only internally consistent worldview is the Christian world view. Every other worldview will implode with an internal critique.

The mindblowing arrogance continues. Does he really believe Christianity is that much different from any other religion based on supernatural beings and events? What’s his basis for making this claim? I am well familiar with the arguments that supposedly prove how “true” or “real” Christianity is, but no one’s ever heard an argument like that that couldn’t be used equally well on _any_ religion. Heck, exposing this fact is the main purpose of the Flying Spaghetti Monster scenario.

Episode #3 of this series deals with science. Did you know that the only way to do science is based on what is known as the “uniformity of nature”. This is the assumption that tomorrow will be like today. However, this is an assumption. What is its basis?

Ok, so the way they’re “proving” Christianity is by attacking science? Has attacking science ever proved any religious point before? Why should it do so now?

And yes, Eric, science does assume that “tomorrow will be like today”. So do you. So does everyone, and they have done so for as long as anyone could reason enough to put forth a thought to that effect.

What he’s also forgetting, of course, is that science also has methods for adjusting to when tomorrow is not like today, which Christianity does not.

His last argument is really the most hilarious, so I’ll do him a favor and print it bold and in large print, just to make sure no one could possibly miss this incredible insight of Eric Hovind’s:

The only world view that can logically make sense of this idea is the Christian world view.

  1. So,you like gays and hate christians…
    Why does it bother you ?
    Im sure you would have somthing better
    to do if somthings not wrong with your
    comprehension.
    If you were satisfied with your way of life,
    would you then, be so full of hate ?

    • What makes you think I “hate” Christians? I absolutely think a lot of them are ignorant and sometimes downright stupid, but as far as I’m concerned, Christians are the only ones who “hate” other people (even Jesus spoke of “hating your parents”). And as for gays… I neither like nor dislike them. They are people, just like you and me. They’d have to do something particular for me to have an opinion on them as a group, but they haven’t. Read my lips: they. are. just. people.

      There’s nothing wrong with my “comprehension”, but your grammar and spelling leaves much to be desired.

      I’m quite satisfied with my way of life, thank you, it’s the way of life Christians choose that conflict with my way of life that I’m dissatisfied with. Again, no hate involved. I leave such extreme emotions to you.

        Since English isnt my languege Im no surprised about the spelling issue.
        I am surprised that you think Jesus should have said ;
        hate your parents. That is untrue !
        Jesus says clearly ; you should honor your parents.

        regards

        • These are Jesus’ own words, from the Bible:

          If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters–yes, even his own life–he cannot be my disciple.

          It’s from Luke 14:26. Check it out yourself if you don’t believe me.
