That:

"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.....

Yes, condorman's post 845 has a link (spanked) to another creationist site that takes him to task.

Not that Hovind is a bonafide quack, but it does remind us of the simple fact that both sides of this issue are populated with their share of charlatans. Hovind is not the worst on the Creationist side and is actually pretty good in many areas. But he does associate himself with some teachings and teachers that only damage his credibility.
