I’ve been featured in Kent Hovind’s regular Wack-An-Atheist nonsense, as have many other opponents of creationism. Now a different person has criticized him, Dan McClellan, a bible scholar, who points out that no, the bible does not discuss dinosaurs.
Ol’ Kent is going to have to flail about a bit in response, and I’ll be looking forward to it. I’m going to predict that what he’ll do is declare McClellan to be an atheist by default.
Also, I despise those tik-toks or whatever that feature someone just smiling and nodding along, but making sure that their face is on screen the whole time. I’ve seen a few lefty videos like that. Speak up and contribute something!
I believe that’s part of the “dual videos” trend that keeps the attention of Gens Z and Alpha.
Kent clearly misspells his name. The first letter should be a “C”…….the second letter is incorrect too……..
Love McClellan’s opening comment about Hovind: liar, fraud, and now, wife abuser. What an out standing example of the Christian man. Reminds me of a certain president.
McClellan gets a lot of obnoxious comments from so-called Christians, many of them focused on the fact that he’s a Mormon and therefore not a “true” Christian. He’s done a video about how there is no single authority to decide who is a Christian and who isn’t.
As for dinosaurs in the bibles, the whole thing is dinosaurs.
I don’t know if McClellan is an atheist but he sure knows his Bible. His videos are always spot-on and very easy to follow for the layman.
rietplum — McClellan is not an atheist. He is a Mormon, in fact a convert to Mormonism. He does seem to know the state of Biblical scholarship. His PhD from University of Leicester is in the “cognitive science of religion” so he seems to have a reasonable idea of where “religions” fit into the overall human experience.
Kent is certainly whacking something, but it’s not atheists.
Ah, but the Bible mentions birds, and birds are dinosaurs, aren’t they? Checkmate, athiests!

I don’t understand. Perhaps if you spelled it out and explained your reasoning.
I haven’t seen her take the Hamster or Whorvind but Monte Mader does a good job of eviscerating extreme right Christian Nationalists. She has impeccable qualification for this. Among other things she studied theology at the home of fundamentalism, Liberty Univesity. https://montemader.com/
