Friendly reminder, please have your keyboard checked. ;^)
My daughter (9) has enjoyed it for the past year and a half.
The younger one (almost 8) enjoyed it too but I'm sure some of it went over her head.
The seminar is freely downloadable but you can buy copies of them on VHS or DVD. I could copy you our VHS set too if I had a way to do it. He is a little corny and I'm sure his style is infuriating to many who disagree with him, or is otherwise politically correct. I don't agree with him on all points but he has some very interesting theories.
"Rev. Hovind is grossly uneducated. He has even taken to calling himself a "Doctor," though his bogus Ph.D. was issued by the diploma mill "Patriot University" which has no campuses and does not teach anything. When Rev. Hovind was asked about his bogus Ph.D., his reply was (and I quote in full): "What difference does it make? Deal with the subject please." [Private communication to Karl Schneider from Kent Hovind, October 29, 1998]"

is an amazing revelation.
Now if my memory serves, Kent Hovind got himself into some legal troubles VERY recently, the details of which is suspect can be provided by some of our fellow FReepers.... Hovind sure seems to be be a "curious" fellow.....
Update on Hovind and Law: Arrest for assault, battposted by Wally Hartshorn on Thursday September 26, @09:30PM from the legal dept.

Kent Hovind was arrested for assault, battery, and burglary on August 15, 2002. Documentation for this can be found online at the Escambia County Florida Clerk of the Circuit Court. The police report can be found within this discussion thread.
Of course this is not the first time Hovind has been in trouble with the law. Many "Skeptic News" readers will be aware of his attempts to evade income taxes via lying and abuse of bankruptcy courts. See the decision of the court.
He is also in a legal dispute with Escambia County for failure to get a building permit. As longtime readers of "Skeptic News" know, he claims to have spent many thousands of dollars fighting a trivial fine.

Perhaps he needs more than just being "taken to task"....
And perhaps he's more than just a "charlatan"....
Yes, he is. Hovind may be a fool, a charlatan, and an ignoramus, but he is also an intellectual hero for many of the creationists we encounter in these threads. So please, a little more respect is in order.
You again show that you cannot discuss anything honestly. All of you put together are too lame to discuss the scientific facts of evolution so all you can do is insult. Bye loser.
More ad hominems from the lamers of evolution. They cannot discuss anything honestly, they can only attack the messenger whoever it might be. How pitiful evolution is. One would think that such great 'scientists' would be able to discuss scientific questions in a scientific manner.
Patrick Henry doing what he does best (or shall I say doing the only thing he does) insulting people, building up straw men and insulting everyone who disagrees with him by falsely associating him with them. What a miserable person you are, spending your life insulting people because they dare to disagree with your stupid theory. If evolution was not a lie you would be able to defend it with facts. Nevertheless you waste your life defendind a lie.
That's the purpose of your placemarkers - to coordinate the actions of your thugs.Ey! I resent dat insinuation. I ain't no tug, an' I'll beat da first blueboy whats sez udderwise, capice?
Insults are an easy way to avoid addressing the substance of my post. So here are the important bits.
gore: We are not talking lectures, we are talking discoveries.
Repeated portion: And why do laureates give Nobel Lectures, my tiny-minded demagouge? To discuss the discovery for which they were awarded the prize.
(Note: Demagouge is an accurate description not an insult; "tiny-minded" admittedly may be gratuitous.)
