Funny, isn't it? Hovind accepts everything about evolution, but the name.
Of course, he'd deny that, but... well, you watched the video, right?
The funniest thing is this whole idea of getting a five-year-old to decide what's the same "kind" of animal. I suppose that's because, if you're much older than that, you'll realize just how stupid it is.
Without a definition of "kind," it's pretty worthless as a term, isn't it? Well, Hovind
had a definition, but he didn't stick with it, because it would have proven him wrong. But would a five-year-old consider a
Tasmanian wolf the same "kind" as a dog? Almost certainly, especially if his other choice was a banana!
And what's with the creationist fascination with
bananas, anyway? (Of course, the
really hilarious thing about Ray Comfort's argument is that bananas are a domesticated fruit, with the Cavendish banana specifically selected by human beings for the traits we like. And I'm a little uncertain about that whole "point at the top for ease of entry" comment. I really don't think I want to know...)
Anyway, I thought this video clip was excellent. But I'm sure it won't convince anyone who really wants to believe what he wants to believe.
