Why don't you prove that God did not create the universe. Then you could collect the $250,000 [Hovind] reward.

Yes, well... It would have been long gone if the requirements weren't impossible.
To win, you are required to prove that Evolution*.
There's a lot in that little asterisk there.
*I am referring to the general theory of evolution which believes these five major events took place without God:
1. Time, space, and matter came into existence by themselves.
2. Planets and stars formed from space dust.
3. Matter created life by itself.
4. Early life-forms learned to reproduce themselves.
5. Major changes occurred between these diverse life forms (i.e., fish changed to amphibians, amphibians changed to reptiles, and reptiles changed to birds or mammals).
That's right, it's like asking "Use mathematics to prove honey tastes sweet"
Another fundie who has no idea how science works. Once again, for the slow students: scientists observe specimens/events to gather data. They then think really hard about what they saw and try to figure out how and why it happened. Once they reach a conclusion, they observe more specimens/events and see if the data supports their conclusion. And they seek contradictory evidence as well. If not? They seek a new conclusion.
Here's the hard part. Scientists don't pull a theory out of their ass and seek only positive evidence. They gather the evidence first.
BTW, citing Hovind is an automatic fail. I don't think it can be proven he has ever told the truth to anyone about anything.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
