"Dr" Kent Hovind on Dinosaurs

This stuff makes my brain hurt. I'm not here to look down my nose at anyone who believes in whatever religion they choose. However, when an evangelical young-earth creationist looks down their nose at me, I must strike back. Apparently, even other creationists think guy is nuts.

In the above video, we get to see how "Dr" Kent Hovind works dinosaurs into creationist theory. It turns out Noah just took baby dinosaurs onto the boat. DUH!! It doesn't matter that dinosaurs became extinct nearly 65 million years ago, because that's a lie. The Earth itself is only some 6 thousand years old. Forget all that "carbon-dating, fossil record, vestigial organs, genome mapping" nonsense your fascist professors taught you.

Dinosaurs aren't the only targets for debunking in this video, as we learn that wolves, coyotes, and foxes all descended from a common dog, not the other way around. Right...

It all really goes downhill when he points to cultural legends as the basis of proof for all sorts of creationist events. Come to think of it, this video doesn't start off at a particularly high point so I guess it can't ever really go downhill. The video is good for a laugh, then a cry, then maybe a decision to apply for citizenship elsewhere.
