1.0 out of 5 stars Terribly Unscientific, July 25, 2005

By

This review is from: Dinosaurs And The Bible [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There is a reason why scholars in technical fields are required to submit their work to peer reviewed journals. The reason is that a community of experts is best equipt to evaluate the methodology and factual basis of the claims made by an individual like Hovind. His reasoning "makes sense" and "sounds scientific" only because he is able to twist the facts and misrepresent what truly goes on in scientific discussion. His explanation of how scientists calculate the distance to the stars, for example, is simply incorrect. Hovind (in one video in his series- maybe not this one) correctly argues that 11th grade trigonometry cannot establish that the stars are millions of light-years away. He is incorrect, however, that 11th grade trig is what scientists use to calculate these things. Rather, they use advanced trigonometric principles, which have been peer-reviewed in mathematical journals by expert mathematicians/scientists. Now, one would not know this by watching Hovind, and one might think he was being "scientific" if one does not read math journals. This is why we have experts to point us in the right direction, and why we should approach pseudo-scientists (like Hovind, whose mail correspondance PhD is in "Christian Education") with care. This is not meant to be "mean" to Hovind, only to warn people against believing that he is some sort of authority.

This review is from: Dinosaurs And The Bible [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was 100% for Evolution and millions of years and got into hot debates with "ignorant" christians who denied them (notice my pre-conceived ad hominen attack). I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering and my "scientific" mind refused to even consider the option that those theories were not true (now I know I had been indoctrinated and was blinded by my own pride).

That was until I was introduced to Mr. Hovind's videos 4-1/2 years ago, along with some other creationist books. At first I watched/read them in order to debunk and ridicule their faulty reasoning and interpretation of the data (evidence), but the more I watched/read, the more I found flaws with the Evolutionary theory and the more I became convinced that the biblical model of creation was the best way to interpret the data.

Some disagree with some of Dr. Hovind's views or his way of presenting the truth, but if you can see the argument without being side-tracked by that, you will profit much from his videos (I know I have).

5.0 out of 5 stars Very comprehensive collection of evidence, September 7, 2002

Though children everywhere are indoctrinated that dinosaurs are proof for "scientific" evolution and that they are extinct, this little video will make you think twice. There is plenty of proof here from the remote, undeveloped regions of the earth that dinosaurs are rare, endangered, and reclusive, but that they are not all dead. Dr. Kent Hovind even shows a stuffed juvenile specimen that was found on a lake shore.
