If I didn't know any better, Jael, I'd think you were just kidding with this idea. If you have kids, and you love them, I would really hope you teach them better things than what Hovind has to offer. I could post a million things showing Hovind to be nothing more than a sensationalist goofball, but I'll spare you with just a few. To whit:

Hovind's "doctorate" is a fake rag from the fake "Patriot University" which used to sell diploma's out of some guys garage. "PU" is apt.

Hovind is a YEC. This may be fine for you, but seeing as how YEC's believe in something that flies in the face of every single discipline of science, I'd hope you'd want better for your kids.

A Hovind quote: "And this New World Order will deplete the earth's population to only a half billion people by May 5, 2000!" 'Nuff said.

To be fair, maybe Hovind's jail time messed with his mind.

Thanks, that's the funniest thing I've read all day.

In a field full of way-out-there creationists, Hovind is one of the most "out there".

Hovind is such a hoot he gets his own wing at the talk.origins archive. He's so way out there that even Answers in Genesis, a young-earth creationist website, lists a boatload of Hovind's howlers on their Arguments we think creationists should NOT use web resource. On their Maintaining Creationist Integrity page, which is devoted *entirely* to rebutting Kent Hovind, they write:

In the interests of maintaining Christian/creationist integrity, we believed we had to respond to Kent Hovind’s critique (albeit with a heavy heart), particularly because of the mistakes in facts and logic which do the creationist cause no good.
