If it's about fleecing the flock, why do you suppose he publically tells people to order his stuff, copy it and send it back for a refund. His stuff is not copywritten for that very purpose. Care to indulge in another falsehood?

As explained previously (and I'll try to use simple words so you can understand it this time), this is known as loss leader marketing materials. Hovind makes his profit on the back end from the sheep who believe his bilge and then pay for his speeches, entry into his bible theme park, donate money to him, etc. As also explained previously (see post # 622 for a link to a related story), the IRS has found that Hovind has been making in excess of $ 1 million per year and not paying taxes. Care to explain why he's not rendering unto Caesar?

In simple words for your intellectual highness, (heh), if it's taken this long for the courts to decide the matter, I'd say open your trap when the courts have decided it.

Once more with feeling. The "bible theme park" is nothing but a creation museum (admission free to that part)) and a hands on play place for kiddies in Hovinds back yard. It has a tire swing among other things. All admission fees, and they are small are used to pay the staff that works there. The first time I went all you did was give a donation. The last time I went it was five dollars per family. Oh, they also have a climbing wall.

Hovind doesn't charge a speaking fee.

Try and get your lies straight next time Peyton.

And don't forget that all of his materials are not copyrighted so anyone can copy them and use them.
