Did UMW pay this clown to speak at the campus?

LOL. This is how Hovind makes a living - he doesn't speak for free. If you look up his tax lien (available here in PDF format) and then work the tax tables backwards (Hovind is married, right?), you realize that the IRS is calculating his 1995 income at about $430,000, 1996 at about $365,000, and 1997 at around $750,000.

Hovind filed an affidavit regarding his tax lien a few months ago (affidavit in PDF format), which is an amusing read for a few reasons. One is his claim of a "vow of poverty" he took in 1989. Two, his omission of the doctor in "Dr. Dino" - the only degree he mentions is a bachelor's of religious eduction from an unaccredited Bible college in Michigan. And three, his claim that ministering is not a "trade or business", hence income received from ministering is tax-exempt, and his apparent claim that being a self-employed minister makes one a church, and therefore all income is tax-exempt under 508(c)(1).

So, basically Hovind is a criminal fleecing the brainwashed flock by calling a couple of centuries worth of scientific research a lie and the Luddites swarm to him with $millions in donations?

It makes you wonder what must have happened to Hovind's income since the internet got really BIG. Look at how the incomes of other internet operations have rocketed...
