9). WHY would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of its survival? (Does the INDIVIDUAL have a drive to survive, or the SPECIES? How do you explain this?)
10). HOW can MUTATIONS (recombing of the genetic code) create any NEW, IMPROVED varieties? (Recombing English letters, no matter how many times, will never produce Chinese books.)
11). Is it possible that similarities in design prove a common Creator instead of a common ancestor?
12.) Natural selection only works with the genetic information available and tends to keep a species stable. HOW would you explain the Increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occured if evolution were true?

13.) WHEN, WHERE, WHY, and HOW did:
a) Single-celled plants become multi-celled? (Where are the two- and three- celled intermediates?)
b) Single-celled animals evolve?
c) Fish change to amphibians?
d) Amphibians change to reptiles?
e) Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes, reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!) HOW did the intermediate forms live?

15.) Which evolved first (HOW, and HOW LONG, did it work without the others)?
a) The digestive system, the food to be digested, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the bodies RESISTANCE to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)?
b) The drive ot reproduce, or the ability to reproduce?
c) The lungs, the mucus linning to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of gasses to be breathed into the lungs?
d) DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts?
e) The termite or the flagea in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose?
f) The plants, or the insects that live on and POLLINATE the plants?
g) The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move the bones?
h) The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system?
Kent Hovind is highly dishonest, and the challange is set up to be impossible. Among other things, Hovind reserves the right to throw out evidence he doens't like before the judges even see it. Some of his questions are nonsense (how did matter get to be so well organized? "Well-organized" in what sense?) Others relate to cosmology, not evoltution. And some are just plain stupid (a few hours ago, I resolved to try to be nicer to creationists, but I'm making an exception for Hovind)..
"WHY would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of its survival? (Does the INDIVIDUAL have a drive to survive, or the SPECIES? How do you explain this?)" Someone doesn't understand how natural selection works.

Whew... I need a drink. That was alot of typing.
The book that I got this from was printed in 2003, (I haven't checked the web page) so nobody has gotten this guys money yet.
He included a few interesting quotes:
"I could prove God statistically; take the human body alone, the chance that all the functions of the individual would just happen is a statistical monstrosity"- George Gallup, Statician
"To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."- Charles Darwin
