My Creation Science Treasure

We've been studying creation science for almost ten years now and have used many different sources. We thought we had a pretty good handle on the whole issue, until a friend recently lent me a video series by Kent Hovind.

Talk about a steep learning curve! I watched the first video 3 times and still didn't get it all! This guy has SO much to teach about creation science that I didn't realize was even related. Here a few things he covers in his 17-hour seminar:

6 day literal creation
evolution
age of the earth
gap theory
the flood
dinosaurs
Grand Canyon
the Ice Age
900 year old people
lies in the textbooks
marxism
communism
socialism
New World Order
marriage licenses
vehicle license plates
Pangea theory
magnetic fields
plate tectonics
continental drift
petrified wood
geological columns
fossil dating
layer dating
... and much more!

I am learning so much, I am really getting interested in science for the first time in my life!

He also brings everyday life according to God's Word into every aspect of what he teaches. I really think that God's Word applies to everything that I do, so it was quite refreshing to see him live it out.

A word of caution: you must have a well-developed sense of humor to appreciate this guy's corny jokes! He does tend to be a little sarcastic now and then, and he doesn't quite have my theology, but since I am not one to throw the baby out with the bath, I still heartily recommend his video series.

I haven't tried any of his other products yet, but they look like they will be life-challenging material. I'm up for a good challenge about now! He also has a dinosaur creation-science theme park in Pensacola, where we are headed in July. I will post a field trip report afterward.

I have to agree that Kent Hovind's videos are great! We also have the Creation Series and we used it when we did a Creation Study almost 4 years ago.

We love them and even my kids who were much younger enjoyed the ones they watched (they didn't watch all of them).

Thanks for sharing!
