Dude... Evolution has nothing to do with spontaneous generation..

What do you think the examples of Australopethicus, Neanderthal Man, sabre-tooth tigers and the like are? Are you refuting the example with the white and charcoal moths?

No. As I said earlier, evolution is the biological process by which an organism adapts to its environment, e.g. a variety of white tree moth living around coal factories quickly changed colour over the generations and became a new variety of charcoal-coloured tree moth.

I would agree that "life randomly coming from lifeless matter" would likely be spontaneous generation as we perceive it, but why did you bring that up?

When your entire evidence relies on "the Bible said so and the Bible is inerrant", that is absolutely impossible. You come up with a single shred of evidence that does not rely on Biblical infallibility and, as you put it, then we can have an argument.

Racism is discriminating against people based on the colour of their skin or other similar bodily features. Evolution is the slow development of one species or subspecies into another.

Darwin may have been racist, but evolution is a fact of biology, not a human precondition against another human. Likening a biological process to the mental practices of racist people is another of the humoungous untruths that Hovind is using to scare people into believing in creationism. He is a gigantic fraud and this "argument" is obviously false.

No one is ever disputing that the Nazi leadership had many sick, depraved and morally bankrupt policies, but claiming that they supported evolution and therefore evolution is wrong is absolutely ridiculous. The Nazis also supported pride in one's country, a thriving economy, strong family values and suchlike, but that doesn't make those policies bad either.

You have to see why Hovind has such a laughable reputation outside of his own social circle. It's putting together blatantly fraudulent presentations like this that does that for him, regardless of his views.

I have taken a look at those videos, so setting aside the endless stuff about Nazi insanity which is absolutely irrelevant to the question you're trying to ask, where does guy get off on saying "without God, with evolution, what is right and wrong?" Is all of humanity completely bereft of moral judgement that we cannot decide how to live without God telling us what to do?

Evolution is not pagan. Paganism is a different form of religion and anyone who equates science with paganism clearly has no idea about what they're attempting to talk about. Evolution is also not reincarnation, as they're utterly separate. That entire section was just blatant lying.

Not in five minutes, no. Sheesh.

You are aware that eugenics is completely discredited and has very little whatsoever to do with Darwin's theory of natural selection?

Give over. You're obviously not interested in a rational conversation.

Please don't be deliberately obtuse. There is no part of Genesis that is in any way compatible with any current, commonly accepted scientific knowledge.

Well, there's a ton of scientific study to suggest that Genesis is pure Jewish mythology. What have you found to suggest that it is an accurate accounting?

Well, those are Biblical literalists. It clearly isn't the absolute and inerrant word of God, since half the New Testament is composed of letters by St. Paul and half the Old is full of partisan Jewish history. That's without even going near most of Genesis and Exodus simply being mythology.

Define "believes in the Bible".

Ah, so I did. I didn't say he was racist, only his particularly specific brand of fundamentalist Protestantism that insists that everyone will burn in hell for eternity for not worshipping Jesus.

Did I really use the term "racist"? Muslims, Jews and Christians all worship the same God, after all.

I was raised a Christian, but I'm not terribly religious.

Why would I want to? I believe in God.

However, making snobby comments about how there is no proof for atheism just makes you look elitist and ignorant.

You are aware that atheism doesn't need proof, as it's a personal belief in there being no God? You can never prove a negative.

Sure!
