wow.

Is that going to be a lump sum or monthly payments?

I'll mail him my soul first. He should get it in 4-6 weeks.

What a con, apparently his soul already belongs to something called partygaming. Don't suppose I'll get the money either.

The purpose of the offer seems to be publicity for the website (such as it is getting here). The standard of evidence is much higher than what is customary in science.

Thank you for the best laugh of the day (before 9 pm, when Steven Wright takes the stage).

Coming from a clown, I take that as a compliment, but what are you talking about?

You’re not making sense. Are you trying to communicate something related to the OP?

Not really, the standard is whatever Hovind will accept, which is generally far below what a scientist has to present. Also far below the normal standards is Hovind's knowledge of the topic - his definition of what is to be proven does not match any reasonably common statement of the theory of evolution. Finally, his understanding of how scientific theories work is pretty flawed - nobody sits around working out how to prove the Germ Theory of Disease is true, they keep on trying to find things it can't explain and as they fail to do so, scientists become more confident that the theory's useful. Same for Gravity, or Relativity, or Evolution, or any other scientific theory.
