Creationism evangelist: God put contradictions in the Bible to ‘weed out’ the atheists [View all]
Young Earth creationism evangelist Kent Hovind asserted this week that God had purposefully put contradictions in the Bible to weed out non-believers.
In a YouTube video posted on Monday, the Christian fundamentalist responds to a follower who is troubled by a contradiction in the book of Acts.
If I was God, Hovind explains, I would write the book in such a way that those who dont want to believe in me anyway would think they found something. Aha, heres why I dont believe.'
And then they could go on with their own life because they dont want to believe God anyways, he continues. I would put things in there that would appear without digging to be contradictions. I dont think thats deceptive, I think thats wise for the Heavenly Father to weed out those who are really serious.
Hovind says that he made a choice to believe the Bible until its proven wrong.
I know others who have decided, Im not going to believe it until you prove everything is right,' he notes. Okay, you do whatever you want to do, but I made the opposite decision.
