Look, Eric Hovind is teaching biology!

From Pharyngula. http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2015/01/24/eric-hovind-is-not-a-biology-teacher/

Eric Hovind is offering an online biology course. He has no qualifications in the subject, is demonstrably ignorant of biology, and the online materials look pathetic. Here’s his promotional video, in which we learn that teaching biology somehow involves popping balloons with a blow gun and learning how to cook crack cocaine.

Enjoy the promotional video:

2. What's the problem? Do you not fear Jesus?

Repent sinner!

3. Apparently, the fear of Jesus turns one into a shitty dresser

At least based on Hovind's outfit in the video. His sport coat is a train wreck - a total fucking train wreck. I know homeless people that wear better fitting clothes.

4. Did I hear that right at about :45?

"Let this introductory course reveal we are fearfully and wonderfully made."

Fearfully made? What the fuck does that mean?

5. It means you better STFU and come to Jesus

Or gawd is going to fucking kill your ass.

6. As his Dad's in jail, it must be his turn with the brain cell. (nt)

7. I'm taking an online chemistry course with a much more qualified teacher

Brian Cranston is teaching me how to create methamphetamine.

8. I'm disappointed.

I wanted to have a little of a lesson. As someone who got my degree in biology with a teacher certificate, I was hoping to learn something new.

9. Hey, all of the Answers are in Genesis, right?

So who needs training as long as you believe, right? And as the boaters (yachters?) over in Religion have declared, there is absolutely no harm in believing silly, irrational, illogical shit with no evidence. It's all just live and let live, right guys?

13. Other ways of knowing Biology....

....so many of them.... so fearfully made!

10. Reading some of the comments to the Youtube video can be

lots of fun.

There's already dozens more comments critical of Hovind than there are comments defending their religious beliefs.

I suspect the comments will soon be closed for that short Youtube video.

11. I thought it was satire.

I'd never heard of the guy.

Wow.

12. Your life as an atheist or agnostic must be "blessed"

Never having heard of Eric Hovind, or his tax-evading father Kent, (sent to prison even).

Eric has a number of videos where he states to the viewer that the only "truth" and knowledge you need is contained in the Holy (Christian Evangelical) Bible.
