In this episode of Hebrew Voices #184: Creation vs. Evolution: Raw and Unedited, Young Earth creationist Kent Hovind of DrDino.com explains to Nehemia about the errors of evolution, dinosaurs on Noah's Ark, and the formation of heavy elements in stars. Nehemia's most controversial guest to date, Hovind describes himself as a "lowly high school science teacher with a non-accredited degree from a Christian school who happens to believe [the Bible] is true and evolution is not only stupid it's dangerous."

I look forward to reading your comments!

Hebrew Voices #184 – Creation vs. Evolution: Raw and Unedited

You are listening to Hebrew Voices with Nehemia Gordon. Thank you for supporting Nehemia Gordon’s Makor Hebrew Foundation. Learn more at NehemiasWall.com.

Nehemia: Okay. Is this being recorded? Got it. Alright, I think we’re recording. Alright, let me just jump into it, and we’ll just have a conversation here. What is your timeframe? I’ve done interviews everywhere from 25 minutes to 7 hours, so, just to warn you!

Kent: Well, I have to preach tonight at 7:00 o’clock.

Nehemia: Okay, we’ll be done by then.

Kent: Okay.

Nehemia: If it’s okay, we’ll just go naturally. Like I said, it might be half an hour, it might be as long as it goes.

Kent: Okay.

Nehemia: If it’s longer, we’ll probably break it into multiple episodes.

Shalom and welcome to Hebrew Voices! I’m here today with Kent Hovind, who, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say is the most controversial guest I’ve ever had on the program! Shalom Kent!

Kent: Hey, shalom, very good to be with you!

Nehemia: Is it okay if I call you Kent?

Kent: Sure! I get called a lot worse than that on the internet, you would not believe.

Nehemia: I can imagine! So, Kent is, I think, probably one of the most famous Young Earth creationists in the world. Let’s start with, what is Young Earth creationism? Because some of my audience won’t be familiar with that. But in one sentence or in one phrase, you’re opposed to evolution, is that right?

Kent: Well, yes. I have been a Baptist preacher for 50 years. I taught high school science and math for 15 years. And I started a ministry back in 1989 called Creation Science Evangelism, defending the Bible as being scientifically accurate.

The Bible says God made everything in six days, but our kids in public school textbooks are being taught dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. Well, somebody’s lying. I mean, big time lying! I believe the Bible is true. God made everything in six days, and if you add up the dates in the Bible... if you look at the Bible, Genesis chapter 5, it says Adam was 130 when Seth was born and Seth was 105 when Enos was born. The dates are all right there in Genesis 5. After the Flood, you go to Genesis 11, and there’s more dates given of how old they were when their kids were born. Anybody can add them up. It comes to about 6,000 years for the age of the Earth.

So, I started traveling and teaching about the Bible being scientifically accurate. God made everything. And animals always bring forth “after their kind”, “after their kind”, “after their kind”, there are no exceptions. These evolution charts that they’re teaching our kids in school, where they have the sunflowers are related to frogs; this is not only propaganda, it is flat stupid.

I’ve done 351 debates now with atheists at universities. The most famous one... I was debating three atheists at the same time at Embry-Riddle University, south of Jacksonville, Florida, and one of them asked me, “Where did God come from?” And my two-minute answer has 900 million views. Two minutes long. Type in, “Where did God come from?”

Nehemia: What’s the answer? Give us the 30-second version.

Kent: Well, the question is invalid. If I said, “Why are elephants orange?” How would you answer that? They’re not orange. I can’t answer your question about why they’re orange because they’re not orange! To ask “where did God come from” assumes God had to come from somewhere. God’s not limited by time, space, or matter; we are. He created time, space, and matter. “In the beginning,” there’s time, “God created the Heaven,” there’s space, “and...
