Matson vs Hovind

Argument 0

[ < ]   [ ^ ]   [ > ]


Dr. Hovind:  It only takes one proof of a young earth to decide between CREATION and EVOLUTION.

0.  Wrong!  Dr. Hovind appears to have misunderstood the very nature of science.  If you want "proof" turn to mathematics or logic!  Nothing in science is ever "proven" beyond all possible doubt.   Scientific hypotheses are rated according to their credibility; as more and more data support (or fail to refute) a scientific hypothesis the greater our confidence in it.  Not a single one of Dr. Hovind's "proofs" inspires confidence in its validity.  Meanwhile, an avalanche of burgeoning data continue to increase our confidence in an ancient earth and cosmos.  I will demonstrate the former by examining every single "proof" of a young earth listed in Dr. Hovind's Seminar Notebook.  I will demonstrate the latter by supplying two or three examples which have no reasonable interpretation save that Earth is old.
