The DVD

• Eric Hovind, Creation Speaker, based in Florida

• Son of well known Kent Hovind, who has spoken at the Met, has similar style/content

• Stephen Priddle and his sons have heard him speak in Ontario

Discussion questions

• Would Eric’s tone be a bit too mocking for an evolutionist in the audience (what can we learn from this?)

• What bible verse should we apply on this topic?

Discussion questions

• In the US, there is a huge debate about whether creationism should be mentioned in science classes along with evolution

• The argument against creation is that it is religion, not science

• How would you respond based on this presentation?

Dawkins on non-believers in evolution

• “If you meet someone who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I’d rather not consider that”

• How would you respond to this statement?

• If Eric Hovind made a single scientific error in his presentation, would that nullify his main points?

Closing

• Would the evolutionist say the chicken or the egg came first?

• This week’s memory verse:

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools Romans 1:22
