If only there had been a period of time that he had little more to do than stare at the barred window so he could update his science and his knowledge of the tax codes.
13:15 "No, I can't prove that the Earth has always spun at the same rate, but there's also no data to indicate otherwise." The Earth does spin slower now than it did 4.5 billion years ago. After the moon was formed it slowly spiralled away in an ever-widening orbit, and the spin of both the moon and the Earth slowed down. This gravitational interaction is what is responsible for the state we see today, where the moon is tidally locked such that one hemisphere always faces the planet. So, IIRC, the Earth's day used to be as little as five hours long.
@@SticklsOfDoom It wasn’t always, but once objects get tidally locked, they tend to stay that way. If the earth/moon survive the sun going through its red giant phase, about 5 billion years from now, the earth will continue to slow, and the moon move farther away for another 50 billion years or so until they are both tidally locked to each other.
12:57 We don’t have to assume the decay rate was always the same. It was a prediction based on the other laws of physics. Then a ~2 billion year old natural nuclear reactor was discovered in Oklo, Gabon and it shows that the decay rate was always the same.
I love that you said, “It’s what I expect to hear from a failing student,” regarding someone calling a subject dumb. I never thought of it that way with people like Kent until you said it. So true.
“Geologic column” is the YEC term for the “stratigraphic column”. They use “geologic column” so that if you google it, you’ll get YEC results mixed in.
The tree thing has been explained to him so many times 🤦🏼♀️. Along with what you said, the organisms that eat wood to help it decay did not evolve until much after trees did
Also, there are cases where sometimes flooding happens (locally, not globally!) and partially covers the trunk. In a few years, more flooding = another layer. Etc, etc. Vertically fossilized trees fossilized trees have been found that have roots that kept sprouting as the soil layer worked its way up the tree before becoming completely buried.
I believe Kent Hovind is saying that "The" geologic column does not exist but this is just a word game. Pieces of a worldwide column are found everywhere and if you collate them you get a consistent history of our planet that spans for hundreds of millions of years. The consistency of the partial columns is what makes the term "the geologic column" a valid concept. Nobody has ever found, for example, a place where the Triassic is followed by the Cretaceous and then by the Jurassic, and that is what we mean by "the" geologic column.
13:05 I’m commenting this as a skeptical atheist with some information in case a young earth creationists points out “you’re wrong so god and the Bible must be true” lol About a billion years ago, Earth’s days were significantly shorter than they are now, lasting approximately 18 hours. This is because Earth’s rotation has gradually slowed over time due to tidal interactions with the Moon. The gravitational pull between Earth and the Moon creates tidal bulges, which transfer angular momentum and energy from Earth’s rotation to the Moon’s orbit, causing the Moon to move farther away and Earth to rotate more slowly. This process continues today, albeit at a slower rate, lengthening the day by about 1.7 milliseconds per century. The difference here between creationists and knowledge about the Earth spinning at a faster rate in the past, resulting in shorter days IS, as Godless Granny said, the DATA. We have data to support this and constant decay rates of radioactive isotopes: When it comes to radioactive dating, we know that radioactive isotopes are consistent throughout time because of many tests we have done with them and nothing has ever drastically changed the decay rates. -Laboratory experiments have shown that radioactive decay rates are largely unaffected by environmental factors like temperature, pressure, magnetic fields, or chemical composition. This robustness further supports the constancy of decay rates. -Radioactive decay is governed by the fundamental forces of nature, particularly the weak nuclear force. These forces have been remarkably constant over billions of years, as suggested by observations of distant stars and galaxies whose light corresponds to the same physical laws observed today. -Different isotopes with varying half-lives (e.g., uranium-lead, potassium-argon, and rubidium-strontium) are often used to date the same rock samples. These methods yield consistent ages, despite involving different decay processes. If decay rates had varied significantly, these methods would produce inconsistent results. -In Gabon, West Africa, a natural nuclear fission reactor operated about 2 billion years ago. Analysis of the isotopic byproducts from this site shows decay patterns and ratios consistent with current decay rates, suggesting stability over vast time periods. -Light from supernovae millions of light-years away shows elemental decay signatures (such as those from isotopes like nickel-56 and cobalt-56). The consistency of these signatures with modern decay rates implies that decay rates have not changed significantly across the universe or over time. -Variations in decay rates would leave detectable anomalies in the geological record. For example, sediment accumulation rates, fossil formation timelines, and isotopic ratios in ancient rocks all align with constant decay rates. -While small theoretical changes in decay rates might occur under extreme conditions (e.g., near a neutron star), there is no evidence suggesting significant changes in Earth’s history. The consistency of radioactive decay rates is a cornerstone of radiometric dating, supported by physics and cross-disciplinary observations.
Radioactive decay is so steady and reliable that Strontium and Cesium are used for the atomic clocks in today's globe. GPS is also driven by one of them (I forgot which one). The material is up there, riding around in positioning satellites, just waiting for you to ask your 'phone which direction you should turn to get to the ice cream stand. Thank you, radioactive decay!
A few technical tidbits: We can know experimentally that radioactive decay rates do not change as we have observed the decay rates of radioactive elements in supernova explosions and they are identical to the decay rates we measure on Earth, even though those supernovae can be hundreds of thousands of light years away which means we are looking at it hundreds of thousands of years ago. An apologist answer to this is that the speed of light was different in the past, but likewise we can confirm that the speed of light has been constant for at least that long because we have watched the flash from the supernova spread out across neighboring nebulae and light the nebulae up. The speed that the light crosses the nebulae is identical to the speed of light we measure today.
Kent is God's gift to science the same way my little brother would buy me an album for Christmas he knew I didn't want just so he'd be justified in taking it for himself and bawling about how ungrateful I am. (I'm kidding, my brother is nowhere near that clever)
Have never been a bible thumper, but grew up in s religious home, went to a Christian school. Have believed for decenia that you needed a microscope to see a mustard seed. But then what is that stuff in course Dijon mustard,
Another issue with Kent's citation about removing potassium from meteorite samples is that it clearly specified "distilled water" which is almost impossible to find naturally occurring and needs to artificially produced. And if Kent wants to say that the waters from Noah's Flood were actually distilled water then that would have sterilized the planet of even the fish (if I recall correctly).
The Geologic Column is just a series of layers of rock with arbitrary sets of qualities we humans use to group them together to understand the history, of Rocks and Fossils. It is but one piece of evidence out of an almost literal mountain of evidence in favor of everything Kent Hovind would call “Evolution”, and one used to substantiate several theories, like the theory of evolution and the theory of plate tectonics
Kent made a living as an ignorant ignoramus, telling other ignorant ignoramuses, that their ignorant beliefs are the only correct beliefs, and the rest of us are the ignorant ignoramuses. The fact he (and others) can make a living off of such ignorance is itself an indictment on our species intellectual capacities.
It always irks me when people call those supposedly risen to life as "zombies". And I'm NOT a follower of the Abrahamic religions. They weren't UNDEAD ie animated corspes, they were supposed to be resurrected, ie brought back to life. Still, there would be record of this, it would be a huge thing.. but there isn't any record of it.
It doesn't say they were resurrected, it says the bodies were raised. Since there's no further description & no indication they lived past that day, there's no reason to think this was a resurrection rather than reanimation.
Of all the YECs out there, Hovind is by far the most obnoxious! But you have to remember, this is the person who believes hitting a Sponge Bob toy with a hammer makes him look smart! You can find his "PhD thesis" online. The pages (not even all of them) are hand numbered, and it starts with the line. "Hello, my name is Kent Hovind..." Just in case you missed his name on the cover sheet.
Yes. Tearing of the veil. Nothing reported, business as usual for decades and the disciples still found going there. No purpose for god tearing it if it was for one priest later that would keep it secret. Must've been in the same alternate reality as the zombie herd of saints.
Some Earthlings can understand science. Some Kent.
😂
Lol

Kent is still repeating talking points from his VCR tapes in the 80’s. I can’t imagine being that defiant to learning

And ever since the invention of good clocks, we’ve been able to measure the lengthening day. It’s currently getting longer by about 2ms per century.
@@donsample1002 Give or take an earthquake or two.
@@RichWoods23 wait, does that mean that the moon wasn't always/won't always be tidally locked?
Yes, the moon is moving 3.8 centimeters a year away from earth.
@@SticklsOfDoom It wasn’t always, but once objects get tidally locked, they tend to stay that way.
