A free thinker is one who thinks independently of the masses, not necessarily related to religion at all.

As for the second link..... That website is a mess. It sets out to try and prove just about every religious claim. Ones that most Christians fully accept as metaphor without any historical accuracy. For instance, proof of resurrection, creationism, dinosaurs living with biblical humans( ![]() And all of the claims just completely fail. Take for instance, this part of the "Scientific evidence for God".... Quote:

A very small point to argue over. We viewed it differently not really surprising~

The author focuses on Trilobites, a Paleozoic era arthropod. He says that these Trilobites disprove evolution, because they have no obvious ancestors and also have complex eye systems. The author questions where these arthropods came from and how they got their complex eyes. And also why there are no transitional fossils available for Trilobites. But here's the thing...... all of that is wrong. In a hilarious example of irony, Trilobites are actually a very good example of evolution. Trilobites themselves show a huge amount of evolution in action. And due to the way they shed their exoskeleton, and how it calcified after shedding, we have some great fossils showing the long existence and changes of Trilobites. Truth be told, there are obvious ancestors of Trilobites. Their ancestors were from 2 groups called Crustaceomorpha and Arachnomorpha. The problem is that these ancestors lacked the calcified exoskeletons that were the reason for Trilobites being preserved so very well. That's the entire reason for their ancestors being so less evident. So their ancestors were there, they simply weren't preserved as well. Here's a good explanation of that: http://www.trilobites.info/triloclass.htm#arachnomorpha http://www.trilobites.info/origins.htm So we have ancestors. Now let's look at the Trilobite group themselves. Trilobites lived for a long long time, in many different conditions, and were found on every continent. Because of that, there was lots and lots of evolution going on. Visibly evident evolution. So much so, that Trilobites have 10 different orders with over 20,000 scientifically recognized species. 20,000 different species of Trilobites. Doesn't that tell you something? They even adapted so that some species of Trilobites became fresh water creatures. Over that vast time period, Trilobites changed dramatically. Quote:
![]() That's just a response to the first point the author makes. This is meant to show you how completely inaccurate these sources are. I could present data to disprove the other portions as well, but hopefully this will be enough to give you the idea that your sources are shit.

Wow, Hovind is so hopelessly outmatched by anyone who can actually think. I'd feel sorry for him if he wasn't such an arrogant charlatan preying upon the ignorant.

It simply amazes me people like him don't end up standing on a corner with a cardboard sign selling pencils. It angers me that him and other charlatans swindle people out of money. However to be honest I do hold some contempt his followers also. If someone is credulous enough to follow this worthless asshole they deserve to be parted from their money and mocked accordingly~
