I hung out with Creationist Kent Hovind at the new Dinosaur Adventure Land

In this video, I took a trip to Repton, Alabama to visit the new dinosaur adventure land. I was given a tour and inadvertently went 4-wheeling with Creationist Kent Hovind.
I wanted to share this...weird experience with you.
Update:
I did want to address some common misconceptions I've been getting about this video though.
This video was not some expose. I grew up as a Young Earth Creationist and was taught Creation by both Kent and his son growing up. As I've become more educated, I've adopted more of a Theistic Evolutionary standpoint (that is, God used Evolution as His method of Creation). I think this is what generates so much anger towards me. I think for a lot of Christians, it implies I don't believe in the Bible. I've explained in previous videos that I take context into account. For instance, we do not interpret books like Psalms and Proverbs the same way we do the Gospels. I disagree with the interpretation of the opening of Genesis.
I still believe the point of it: That God created the universe.
I do not agree with Kent Hovind on Creationism, but I did want to to experience his tour and listen to what he had to say. Which I did. I just gave my unfiltered thoughts on the experience afterwards.
I'm also really disappointed in the Christians who have chosen to comment on this video, saying downright hateful things towards not only me, but my girlfriend. If I wasn't already a believer, I would want nothing to do with this brand of Christianity. Instead of healthy conversation, it's finger pointing and judgement.
I may not believe in Creation, but I do believe in loving thy neighbor, and that the world will know we are Christ's followers by our love for one another. It's okay to disagree with me. It's not okay to be a hateful douche.

For a while, I was getting extremely hateful comments from Christians that started to really affect me at the time. I was constantly getting notifications of people saying I was going to burn in Hell, that I'm an idiot for what I believe/don't believe, etc. In the spirit of keeping dialogue open, I've re-enabled the comments on this video and am open to discussion.

@paynedv 4 года назад

Holden Hardman, I believe creation is scientifically coherent and macro evolution is incompatible with scripture, church history/jewish history, and so on. Without God there is no precondition that accounts for intelligibility thus when speaking to atheists just by engaging they presuppose the uniformity of nature and the laws of logics which in their worldview have no basis for. God bless.

Man, I just found your channel and I feel like i have lot in common with you. I'm currently seventeen and attend a private school that indoctrinates Creationism. I have a Christian father who is a doctor and believes in science and evolution so there is a kind of a conflict. Personally, I am a Christian who believes in evolution and I am currently debating my classmates on the matter. Anyways, just wanted to encourage you in saying that your beliefs honestly make the most sense with science and scripture. I would recommend you to watch InspiringPhilosophy on youtube if you are as interested about this topic as I am because he has a ton of great arguments for it.

@ThatNerdyTrucker 4 года назад

Dude, I learned years ago on my previous channel when I got involved with Kent Hovind drama.... and dude when I say I got involved I accidentally got deeply involved but that's a whole nother matter..... but bottom line is ignore the hateful comments because you're going to have so many ultra dogmatic individuals who don't have common sense come over here and comment thanks to the subject matter..... these are the kind of people that believe other people go to hell because they might have an action figure in the background of one of their videos so you've got to keep in mind ..... I sincerely had those kind of people commenting on my channel because of my POP figures in the background.....that's the caliber of people you're dealing with. Heck if it wasn't for the new drama that's going around with Kent I wouldn't have ever found this video again.... but I'm glad to see that you put it back up and have the comments turned on...... heck this this video that made me find your channel to begin with and I'm glad it exists... because now I know there's plenty of other christians out there like me who just enjoy pop culture for what it is

Hey Holden, I was first introduced to your videos by coming across your Matt “watches” series of movies. I then stumbled across your Faith based videos as well. I think you come across as rational, but humorous at the same time. The PCC video in particular, had me laughing hysterically 😂. I remember we used to joke about the rumors of that place in college(I went to Morehead State in Kentucky). I’m a Christ follower myself,and I couldn’t agree more with a lot of your points. The American church specifically, has often done more harm than good. This is why I always thought that Ravi Zacharius seemed the most legitimate. He intelligently talks about philosophy and culture from a more balanced and nuanced approach. I used to work in church ministry, so I’ve definitely seen the dysfunctional side of people with extreme dogmatic belief. I’m a Christ follower, but that doesn’t mean I turn off my 🧠 and refuse to listen to other view points lol. Have a great day. Looking forward to the next Marvel movie you guys watch!

@ilselangnar507 Год назад

Holy SHIT, I never knew a kid died there. I will be researching that. The CSE (Creation Science Evangelism) is absolutely a cult. Listening to Hovind’s speeches and videos is incredibly difficult both in an emotional and scholarly manner…the language he and his underlings use is very “othering” to anyone who doesn’t agree with his beliefs. My aunt joined the CSE a couple years ago and took a lot of money from her mother to fund her “missionary work,” and then at the memorial service for my grandmother she tried to get the family in on it while we were grieving an important loss. She passed out CD’s with Hovind’s message on them and told us to “think about it.”

Came to this video because I, for whatever reason, happened to think about Dinosaur Adventure Land recently. I remember going when it was in Pensacola, Florida over a decade ago. I was maybe 8 or 9 years old when I went, so that must have been between 2005-2006. It's crazy how little you understand when you're 8 years old. Coming back to this and understanding just what the hell I visited that day now is pretty crazy. I remember that ball and rope gimmick. I remember being terrified of it hitting me in the face. I think I vaguely remember being given a dollar to try it, but that memory is unreliable. I remember the gigantic dinosaur head jutting out of one of the buildings. I always thought that was the best part of the facility. At the time, I had no idea what creationism even was. My entire family was religious, but I never took it seriously. Just never made sense to me. Anyways, just dropping this comment here to let it be known that this video, for what it's worth, was helpful in guiding me back to memories that had been locked away for almost 20 years. Good day.

As a former government employee and witnessing how much waste is involved (in addition to the many incompetent employees/ politicians in government positions), I don't see a problem with the guy disliking the government. As a Christian, I'm disgusted with the government cowering to political correctness and what's being pushed on children in public schools (CRT for example). Plus if Hovinds sincere about losing everything and being thrown into prison for something he did not do (or a crime that's rarely punishable with prison time) I can see how he would be a little ticked off. Not every white/conservative person who complains about the government is an anti-government extremist wacko. We just recognize it for what it really is. As for Hitler and the master race theory bit you may want to read Hitler and Darwins' works, as this is what they were pushing - survival of the fittest and building a master race. Funny how liberals and atheists tend to ignore this when confessing their love for Darwin. Just shows they have not read any of his books and/or regurgitating what they were told by their teachers in public school/college "science" class. Darwin was the ultimate racist and Hitler was his greatest fan. Many claiming to be Christians have issues with Biblical Christianity and create their own personalized version of God. One that's less offensive to the world, especially liberal/atheist friends. This is addressed in #1 and #2 of the Ten Commandments. There is only one true creator and God's word does not change with public opinion. You can't serve the world and God, the Bible is clear on that. I'm glad to see there are still some like Hovind that hold the Bible to be true and appear to live by God's word, regardless of what the world believes.

Thank you for posting this . Not sure what your purpose was going to Dino park but you seemed helbent on picking holes in creationism and aspects of the tour from the start . Although I don’t think you are correct in your world view that’s your business but I though you were disingenuous as your filming was intended to ridicule Kent Hovind and that’s is largely what you did . Not so Christian imo . Nevertheless I think you should know that I texted Dino Adventureland a couple years back just when I became a Christian and I was shocked to get a call back from a lady who said could I take a call from Kent a day or so after that day . Kent called me about a personal issue and gave advise and a phone number that might be helpful . I live in Ireland about 7 hours ahead which is why I was so surprised and grateful . Christianity is largely dead in Europe so you are very lucky to have Kent and those like him . Not exactly Disney world .... quite a distance better I would say from the more eternal point of view . Btw I have a degree in archaeology from UCD ( Dublin ) and do not believe in evolution . That’s doesn’t mean I’m right of course but a proper understanding of Christ changed my life and world view based upon the science . I hope you have that absolute belief and trust in Christ and what he did so that we should have eternal life through him . Séamus

Well, it's kind of hard to be a Christian and believe in evolution when evolution itself denies the existence of God.

It's like saying believing the earth is a globe means you believe God created the universe. You may believe both, but it would be crazy to say that if you believe in a globe earth then you have to believe in God. Second of all, the big bang helps Christianiy. I was taught what your telling me and looking back it's pretty laughable when it comes to the big bang. The big bang proves the universe had a starting point. Before the discovery of the big bang atheists would always say the universe is eternal, meaning it doesn't need a God to create it. In fact, for several decades after the discovery of the big bang, many scientists denied it. Not Christian scientists. Atheist scientists who believed that the big bang sounded to much like Genesis 1. Also the Bible doesn't say how long before animals where created before man. If you believe Genesis 1 describes creation ex nihilo then you may come to this conclusion. But if you believe that this is not how an ancient Israelite would've understood it, then things change. I hope to continue talking about Genesis with you. Although I disagree with you, you are a brother in Christ and I hope to demonstrate why you can believe in God and evolution.
