The craziest claim by a creationist - EVER

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK6tkcxAHIw

I'd post what the claim is, but you wouldn't believe me. If you want to skip to the claim itself, start at about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK6tkcxAHIw#t=2m50">2:50

3. And he says he's a retired medical doctor
Is he a sleeper, designed to make creationists look as foolish as possible?

4. Poe's Law would render such attempts pointless.
But they're still entertaining as hell. :)

6. Dinosaurs went extinct because their noses caught fire.
After Noah's flood, the significant reduction in atmospheric pressure led to a much lower oxygen concentration than before. To compensate for this, dinosaurs had to breath faster and faster until the friction ignited their noses. Nose on fire is a fatal condition.

Admit it, you're suspicious about whether I made it up.

9. I told you that you wouldn't believe it.
You just trust that I'm telling the truth--and that trust is probably about at its limit.

8. When your launch pad is Hovind
there's nowhere to go but further into the looneysphere.

He's broken with his mentor on the matter of extinction, though. Hovind says the dinosaurs never left us.

It goes like this: Reptiles grow for as long as they're alive. Biblical patriarchs lived for centuries, so it follows reptiles did too. Given enough time, a monitor lizard will grow to the size of a school bus -- APATOSAURUS!

12. Lol, what a shitweasel
Now I'm certain he would just wing every presentation. Whatever popped into his head, he ran with it.

Gads. Are there any easier marks than fundie dimwits? If they had any decency, they'd thank Gnu Atheists for saving them from themselves.
