Dr. HOvind's diploma could not have been from a mill or he could not have taught math and science in public as well as privates schools for much of his life. As for his PhD? It was a non-accredited school from my understanding. Either way, does it nullify his outlook in any way? I do not have a PhD, I agree with most of what he says. AM I too of no value or worth in my ideas? Does that paper you say you hold make you somehow more knowledgable? I know a whole lot of people who claim to have knowledge, but well, you and I both know better.

Have I ever discounted anyones opinion based on a degree? Not once ever on FR. I do value your inputs.

But on the other hand, IMHO using a diploma mill is not a proper way to get a title/degree. So we made fun of the mills. I would never in my wildest dreams make fun of someone just because of a title or lack of one. A few of the most knowleged people I have ever worked with never recieved a degree.

Is it really a mill? I understood it to be a private Christian college. He talks about it on one of his videos and gives a link and all.

Laura Callahan has been put on administrative leave after admitting that her degrees were from a diploma mill. She is also not going to run for head of AFFIRM.

Many people are using diploma mills to get (false) credentials for government jobs. With the expansion of Homeland Security, this has increased.
