Just so there is no doubt where I stand, Kent Hovind is a snake oil salesman. I spent 6 hours listening to his sermons, which he calls seminars, and found absolutely no science in them. I did, however, hear many half truths and outright misrepresentations. He 'misspoke' frequently. The man's grasp of science, particularly physics, is nonexistent. A comet hit the Earth hard enough to cause a tilt in the axis but soft enough to flash freeze mammoths without flattening them. This comet apparently hit the Earth hard enough to cause a tilt but soft enough to not cause a crater, throw material into space or leave any other evidence.

This man is the main reason I use the tagline I use.

Another example of “The only physics I ever took was Ex-Lax” ?
