.... on this guy and his arguments.... and his claim of beeing a scientist

video #1

video #2

so what do you think? both (EVO, CREA) sides are more than welcome to answer...

his name is: John Pendleton

His first lie was at 3min:45sec. The discussion of 'genes' is probably actually about chromosomes (I'm pretty sure he just doesn't know the difference - incompetence before malevolence, here). Furthermore, the distribution of genes across chromosomes is itself a subfield of study that supports the evolutionary model. I can't help but notice he fails to mention that. Again: incompetence before malevolence, I'm assuming.

Pendleton: Revolution agains Evolution

Good luck to the nutballs, but I sure don't mean that in a good way.
With an Ecuadorian biologist, we are trying to organize a trip to the Galapagos Islands that would produce a video series to undo all of the evolutionary claims and exalt the creator.

Exalt the creator? Why doesn't the exalted one just exalt himself? Why does this puny human figure the exalted one needs his help?

Pendleton is another Hovind. They say they are scientists, but were only ever schooled by fellow creationuts.

So, no education in biology. No education in life, life sciences, genetics, phylogeny, etc.

So, he can tell you the chemisty result for when you mix ethanol and acetic acid, but he is absolutely not qualified to talk about genes or evolution.

Tell him to come back with some education in biology, microbiolgy, ecology, anatomy, genetics, and botany for good measure. Since he wants to talk about the history of the planet, then a course in geology and archeology would be grand too.

Sheesh, in my two years in college, I covered all that life science (biology, microbiolgy, ecology, zoology, genetics, and botany) and more (including organic chemistry). Yeah, I'm still not a scientist, but may be more qualified to speak on evolution than that chemistry scientist (having had 2 more years on pertinent education than he).

Who introduces themselves by saying "Hello, I'm scientist Blank"? These people seem to have learned all they know about scientists by watching really bad middle school health videos. Or maybe Scooby-Doo.
 
Did someone else notice that he couldn't even read his own material...? I don't have the timestamp, but he fails to read his own manuscript on at least two occasions I don't know how relevant you might find this but I think it illustrates what a pro' this guy is....

I like the labcoat. It's a nice detail. Just in case we doubt his credentials as an expert on evolutionary theory.

Because evolutionary theorists wear labcoats.

You know... in case they splatter themselves with... evolution. Or something.

Sorry, but this is so funny I can see it being the basis for a whole comedy sketch.

Pendelton: "Aaugh! I got evolution in my eyes!"
Hovind: "Quick: let's get you to a holy water eyewash station!"

Bachelor? No offense to any of you, and there are many, who do excellent scientific work without a graduate science degree, but you've also never had to defend a thesis to a group of peers. And, you'd likely be laughed at and mocked, at the very least behind your back if not openly, if you hubristically introduced yourself as "scientist" to the same.
