First off, I disagree with the notion that what he said was inaccurate. There is this thing in astronomy called "Cosmic Evolution"

The term "evolution" is not just limited to bio phenomena...so you are the one that is factually inaccurate. But hey, this is Esquilax we are talking about...what else is knew?

Dude, as just mentioned, half of the material that he covers comes STRAIGHT from the text book...he is giving you HIS assessment based on what is written in the text book...you are making it seem as if he is presenting his own version of what evolution means...which is, bullshit.

They lie or are simply wrong with such frequency, their arguments fail to even be about evolution so completely, that their position was utterly repellent to me. Nobody who has to lie, or be that ignorant about topics you're claiming to be an expert in, could possibly have any handhold on the truth. Further investigation only confirmed what the Hovinds initially led me to suspect.
No, the text book is what is full of lies.

I mean, we both know that Hovind got his degree from a diploma mill that isn't accredited and operates out of a trailer, but have you actually read his dissertation? I have: it reads like an elementary school book report.
All I know is he issues open challenges to any evolutionist or scientists, all of that personal shit is none of my business.
