For a given value of "discussing". He can't grasp that it's the space that's expanding that causes galaxies to move apart and that it can do that faster than light. Also an object being millions of lightyears away (which we can't measure) doesn't mean that it took millions of years for its light to reach us, because a lightyear isn't a measure of time - which it isn't of course, but the implications sail right over his head.
Anyway, KC skewered every tactic in the Hovind arsenal in his own opening address. It's almost as if they've all been heard many times before.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
