Well...that's interesting.

Check out this religious site: it's by a creationist, it's full of bible quotes and antiscientific nonsense, and it's not the usual sort of thing I'd recommend to my readers here. The charming thing about it, though, is that it condemns Kent Hovind almost as strongly as I would.

I did some more research on Hovind. I have to report now that Kent Hovind is a fraud. His claims as to his education are a joke. He has a mail order doctorate from a university that lists no faculty and is accredited by the American Accrediting Association of Theological Institutions, an accreditation mill that provides accreditation for a $100 charge.

He is in deep trouble, way beyond what was reported above, as to his ethics, lies about his alleged poverty, and rebellion against paying tax. This man, like all other tax rebels, wants the rest of us to pay for the benefits of living in the USA while he pays nothing. All this while raking in one million dollars a year for his alleged nonprofit ministry. The millions were deposited into his personal banking accounts.

Hovind filed bankruptcy knowing he was lying and was not bankrupt at all:

I was also flattered that the author of the page cites me and refers to me as "the enemy".

Man, how come YOU get to be an "enemy"? All my posts on an evo/creat forum, and what do I have to show for it? Respect as a debater isn't worth nothing next to being an "enemy"!

Now, now. I'm sure this person thinks you're an enemy, too, and is convinced we're going to burn in Hell together.

I love it how it's "Brother Kent Hovind". Next he'll be referring to his age as being based on when he was "born again".

I finally have a dentist's appointment - on the NHS as well, which is nice. I can have this stupid wisdom tooth ripped out and I'll be able to stop crunching ice and munching down Nurofen. No more pain, with only nine days to go! And speaking of pain, what of old

PZ,

You missed this on that site:

"Will YOU come behind George Bush and bless his faux war and the rape of Iraq? In the name of Jesus?"
