Umvangeli we-American Evangelist and Young Creationist Kent Hovind: Biography, Imisebenzi kanye Namaqiniso Okuthakazelisayo

UKent Hovind ungumdala waseMelika odala indalo, abaningi ababheke njengenye yezazi ezigunyazayo kakhulu zesayensi neBhayibheli. Uvame ukwenza ezikoleni, emasontweni, nasemsakazweni nasethelevishini. Ezintshumayelweni zakhe, ubiza ukuba wenqabe ukufundisa inkolelo yokuziphendukela kwemvelo ukuze kufundwe ngokoqobo iBhayibheli. Ikhono elimangalisayo likaKent Hovind ukumela imiqondo eyinkimbinkimbi yesayensi ngendlela elula yokuyiqonda yenza lolu lwazi litholakale kubo bobabili abantu abasha nabantu abavamile, kanye nabaprofesa.

Iminyaka Yentsha

UHvind wazalwa ngoJanuwari 15, 1953. Ukuguquka kwakhe kuKristu kwenzeka ngoFebruwari 9, 1969. Ngo-1971, uKit graduate esikoleni, futhi ngo-1974 wathola i-bachelor degree efundisweni yenkolo eMidwestern Baptist College, isikole esingokwenkolo esingavunyelwe. U-Hovind ushadile, unabantwana abathathu nabazukulu abahlanu.

Kusukela ngo-1975 kuya ku-1988 wasebenza esikoleni samabanga aphansi njengomfundisi nothisha wesayensi yemvelo. Kusukela ngo-1989, ibhizinisi eliyinhloko iKent Hovind lizinikezele ekudalweni kwendalo nasekudalweni kwayo.

Kuyini i-Young Land Creationism?

Enye yezinkolelo eziyisisekelo ezibaluleke kakhulu zokushumayeza kwanamuhla "ukungaphumeleli kwemiBhalo." Ngokusho kwe-Young Land Creationists, kuhlanganise noKent Hovind, ukudalwa komhlaba kwenzeka eminyakeni engaba ngu-6 000 edlule. Lokhu kuncane kakhulu kunoma yiziphi izinguquko eziguqukayo zokuziphendukela kwemvelo ukuze zivele ku-biosphere zomhlaba. Izazi ze-geologists zingabuye zitshele ngezinkinga ezisemthethweni wokudala umhlaba. Ngakho-ke, abafundisi abaningi bamaProthestani bazama ukuvumelanisa lesi sitatimende ngokuthi "ukungathembeki kwemiBhalo" ngombono wokuthi uMhlaba wabonakala izigidigidi zeminyaka edlule. Ngokwesibonelo, njengomshumayeli uWilliam Thornton uthi:

"KunamaKristu amaningi anesizotha abakholelwa ukuthi iBhayibheli alinakwenzeka futhi liphefumulelwe uNkulunkulu, futhi alikwazi ukuziphendukela kwemvelo, kodwa ukholelwa ukuthi uMhlaba usemdala kakhulu." Ngiyavuma ukuthi ubufakazi obuningi bufakazela ubudala beplanethi yethu. "

Ukukhula kokuthandwa

Lapho ukuthuthukiswa okusheshayo kwe-intanethi kuqale, uHovind Kent wadala isayithi ethi www.drdino.com, lapho ungathola amavidiyo, izincwadi eziphathelene nezilwane zasendle, kanye nokuhlekisa kwabo. Ekuqaleni, okuqukethwe kwayo kwevidiyo kwakungavunyelwe ukukopisha. Ukuphumelela kwalesi siza kwaba yisisusa sokwanda komshumayeli okwakhula, futhi ukukhuluma kwezinkulumo zakhe zomphakathi kwakhula kusuka ezibukweni ezimbalwa kuya ezithameli eziyizinkulungwane. Ngokwezinkulumo zakhe, waqhubeka enza ngonyaka ngamakhulu emasontweni, ezikoleni nakwezinye izindawo. Indodana yakhe u-Eric engakaze iqale ukuhlela izenzakalo ezifanayo, lapho ekhuluma khona, njengoKent Hovind ngokwakhe, mayelana nama-dinosaurs, ukuziphendukela kwemvelo kanye neBhayibheli.

NgoNovemba 2, 2006, iNkantolo yaseSweden yasePensacola, eFlorida, ithole uHvvind enecala lamacala angu-58 okukhishwa intela nokudluliswa kwezinkokhelo zomphakathi. Umshumayeli wagwetshwa iminyaka eyishumi ejele. NgoJulayi 2015, wakhululwa esitokisini. Ngo-Okthoba 21, 2014, inkantolo efanayo yazama ukusola uHvvind ngeziqephu ezimbili zokukhwabanisa. U-Hovind akavumeli unecala. Okokuqala, inqubo yayizokwenzeka ngoDisemba 1, 2014, kodwa kamuva ihlehliselwe kuFebhuwari 9.

Kent Hovind: ukuziphendukela kwemvelo kungenye inkolelo yenkolo

U-Hovind unikeza imali enkulu kunoma ubani ongabonisa ukuthi inkolelo yokuziphendukela kwemvelo ilungile: " Nginikeza u-$ 250,000 kumuntu onganginika ubufakazi besayensi bokuziphendukela kwemvelo, lokhu kuphakanyiswa kufanele kubonise ukuthi inkolelo yokuziphendukela kwemvelo ayikho kangcono kunezinye izinkolelo zenkolo."

Kodwa-ke, akusibo bonke abasekeli bezinto zokudala ababelana ngezimvo zikaHovind. Inhlangano Izimpendulo kuGenesise ikholelwa ukuthi izimpendulo zakhe ziphelelwe yisikhathi, kanti isenzo, lapho kuphakanyiswa khona imali engu-$ 250,000 ukuze kuvezwe inkolelo yokuziphendukela kwemvelo, akuyona into ephumelelayo.

Ngaphansi kwemibandela yesabelo, uHovind uchaza ukuthi ubufakazi besayense bombono wokuziphendukela kwemvelo kufanele kuvezwe ngendlela ethi "akusekho ukungabaza okungenangqondo" (ngaphandle kokungabaza okunengqondo).

U-Kent Hovind uchaza ukuqonda kwakhe kokuziphendukela kwemvelo emazwini alandelayo:

"Ukusebenzisa igama elithi" ukuziphendukela kwemvelo ", angisho izinguquko ezincane ezingatholakala kuhlobo olulodwa (ukuguquguquka kwemvelo), ngisho inkolelo evamile yokuziphendukela kwemvelo ekholelwa ukuthi lezi zenzakalo eziyisihlanu ezinkulu zenzeka ngaphandle kokungenelela kukaNkulunkulu:

1. Isikhathi, isikhala nendaba zivele zodwa.

2. Amaplanethi nezinkanyezi kwakhiwa ngothuli lwe-cosmic.

3 Ukuphila ngokwayo kwavela kwendaba.

Izinhlobo zokuqala zokuphila ziye zafunda ukuzikhiqiza.

5. Izinguquko ezinkulu zenzeka phakathi kwezinhlobo ezahlukene zokuphila (okungukuthi, izinhlanzi zaphenduka ama-amphibians, ama-amphibians aphenduka izilwane ezinwabuzelayo, nezilwane eziphilayo eziguquguqukayo ziguqulwa zibe yizinyoni noma izilwane ezincelisayo). "

U-Hovind uqonda inkolelo yokuziphendukela kwemvelo ngendlela evulekile kakhulu kunokwamukelwa ngokuvamile. UCharles Darwin ngokwakhe uchaza lo mbono ngokuthi: "ushintsho empilweni yokuphila njengethonya lokuguqulwa kwemvelo nokukhethwa kwemvelo." Iqiniso lokuthi uHovind ubeka lapho ukubonakala kwezinto eziphilayo, amaplanethi nokuphila, kuvame ukuholela ekungaboni kahle mayelana nendaba ngokwalo, okudinga ubufakazi.

Njengoba u-Hovind efuna ukufakazela ukuthi unkulunkulu akakwazanga ukuphazamisa kulezi zinqubo, nokuthi indaba ekhonjisiwe yokubonakala kwendawo yonke iyona kuphela, ukugcwaliseka kwazo zonke izidingo akunakwenzeka.

Ukugxeka

UJohn Piret, ongomunye wabagxeki bakaKent Hovinds, uqiniseka ukuthi lo mbiko uzogcina imali engamaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-250 000 - ukufunwa kobufakazi obubonisa ukuqonda okungenasisekelo indlela yokucwaninga ngokwesayensi, ngoba inkolelo yesayensi ingamangalelwa, kodwa ingabonakali (inkinga yokungena). Ngakho-ke, isiphakamiso sakhe kufanele sithathwe njengokuhamba kwe-PR kuphela.

Ukuze umklomelo owanikezwa nguHovind ukufakazela ukuthi inkolelo yokuziphendukela kwemvelo, ngisho nesakhiwo se-Boing Boing site siphume. Ama-Humorist athembise umuntu oyedwa amaRandi ayizigidigidi ezifakazela ukuthi "uJesu akayena indodana yodlaster endizayo."

I-Doctorate Degree

UKhomishana Hovind ungumbhali wezinkulumo eziphathelene nodokotela on "Imfundo yobuKristu", ebizwa ngokuthi "Imiphumela Yokufundisa Ukuziphendukela Kwemvelo Kubafundi Esikoleni Sezikole Zomphakathi." Wavikela le ngqungquthela e-non-state yunivesithi i-Patriot Bible University, konke ukuqeqeshwa kuthatha amasonto amane. Umsebenzi awukashicilelwanga kahle, ngakho awukwazi ukubheka ngamatayunivesithi enyuvesi noma alayishwe. Lokhu kuphikisana nomkhuba, ngoba ucwaningo lwesayensi kufanele lunikezwe kokubili ososayensi nabafundi. Abagxeki bacela ngokuphindaphindiwe ukuba babathumelele, kodwa u-Hovind waphika. Abaxhasi bakhe bathi umsebenzi, okwakuthiwa unyuke ngamakhasi angu-250, uzothola ukuqhutshwa okwengeziwe, ngemuva kwalokho uzovela ngendlela yencwadi. Lokhu ngokuphambene nokuphikisana nesiko lokufunda, okuvimbela ushintsho olulandelayo emisebenzini yesayensi eyamukelekile.

Isazi samakhemikhali uKaren Bartellet sathola umbhalo wokuqala we-101 wemibhalo kaHovind eyunivesithi, lapho lo msebenzi wamukelwa khona. Wafika esiphethweni sokuthi ingqikithi yeHovind ayifanele ukuba ibizwe ngokuthi ingqungquthela kadokotela, ngoba cishe zonke izidingo zocwaningo lwesayensi azizange zihlangane nazo. Esikhundleni sokubhala mayelana nokufundisa inkolelo yokuziphendukela kwemvelo ezikoleni, uHovind wagcwalisa umsebenzi wakhe ngokugxeka izinkolelo ezaziwa futhi ngisho nokudweba phakathi kweDarwinism nemfundiso yamaNazi. Ukufometha nokupela isipelingi akuhambisani nezinga lesikoleni sokuqeqesha, futhi njengoba iphuzu eliyinhloko lokugxekwa yilokho okushiwo ukuthi umsebenzi awunalo ulwazi olusha. Okushiwo ukuthi i-Patriot Bible University ingumshini we-diploma kuphela.

I-Dinosaur Adventure Land Park

Kusukela ngo-2001 kuya ku-2009 e-Pensacola, eFlorida, kwakukhona ipaki yokuzijabulisa ebizwa ngokuthi i-Dinosaur Adventure Land. Ipaki, eyasungulwa futhi iqondiswa nguHovind, yabatshela izivakashi ukuthi abantu namaDinosaurs bahlala ndawonye ngo-4000-2000 BC. E. Ngonyaka ka-2009, lapho uKhovinda eboshwa ngamacala okukhokha intela, ipaki yavaliwe kwaze kwaba yilapho isaziso.

Emva kwejele

Manje uHovind Kent uphinde ukhululekile. Yakhishwa ehlobo ka-2015. Manje usakha ipaki entsha, eyandisiwe futhi ethuthukisiwe e-Alabama, i-Dinosaur Adventure Land. "Udokotela Dino" uye wadala isiteshi esiphumelele ku-YouTube futhi ufuna abatshalizimali ukuba babe nomkhakha omusha. Ezintshumayelweni zakhe, uKent Hovind uphinde wakhuluma ngesikhathi sokugcina, ukubikezela ukulingwa okukhulu kwamaKristu akholwa emhlabeni jikelele.
