Soliciting Questions For Kent Hovind
Zeteo from Gnosos wrote to me today and asked a question:
Brent,
"Dr" Hovind is giving a speech on my campus tomorrow night in a 450 seat auditorium. Usually, questioners only get 15 seconds at the mic at these kinds of things, and I'm trying to think of a question that approaches one of his many glaring errors in thought in a novel way. Do you (or your readers) have any ideas about what you (or they) would say to Kent Hovind given 15 seconds?
Thanks,
Zeteo Eurisko

Well, if it were me, I'd avoid all of the direct confrontation on actual biology or evolution. He's got a zillion canned responses to most questions, and knows how to tack on the gobbledy-gook pseudo-science-speak that his brainwashed Christian fans love so much.I'd go for his literal biblical interprtation. I'd ask: "You seem to take the bible very literally. Could you please explain the meaning of the Song of Solomon?" When he answers that it is a metaphor of Christ's love for his church, which he probably will, ask him: "Then why can't the book of Genesis be a metaphor as well?".
Anyone else want to suggest anything for Zeteo to ask?

Song Of Solomon
Just a quick comment, any professing Christian who claims that the Song of Solomon is a direct representation of Christ and the Church is mistaken and/or trying to avoid the sexual content of Song of Solomon. SOS has no prophetic reference to a Messiah in it at and is obviously talking about the relationship between to lovers. If it was indeed a metaphor for Christ and the Church, then it describes Christ doing some very "personal" things to the Chruch: "tasting of the juices of her garden" and "taking of its fruits (i.e. breasts)." It was concidered so "graphic" that young Jewish boys weren't allowed to read it until they were of appropriate age (however, it seems clean when compared to what there is nowadays).
