"PU... It Stinks!"

Ok, that was weak, but hear me out. PU is most assuredly a diploma mill, a sham, a scam, a joke. There is no faculty! There are no classes! There are no real course outlines! Those of us who went to accredited schools, such as yourself, should be upset when someone else misrepresents himself as a graduate, when indeed, they are not.

The real question is why does Hovind bother? Having the fake moniker attached to his name does him no favors, gives him no greater relevance, nor does it increase his respect in the scientific world. He could drop it entirely and his followers will continue to follow, and his (many, many more) detractors will continue to laugh away is absurdist notions of living plesiosaurs.

My guess is that he is a megalomaniac who craves the attention (even if it's negative) his foolish games garner him. No one with a 6th grade education from any school seriously believes the Loch Ness Monster is a real live dinosaur. It's attention grabbing at it's worst, and certainly is not worthy of my respect.

I worked hard for my bachelors and masters degrees. It irks me that this clown pretends he's done the same. Read his "thesis." It's a joke, no matter how much you wish to believe what he says. The least he could have done is spell properly and, oh... I don't know... finish it perhaps?

But PU got his check, which is all they cared about, and sent him his xeroxed piece of toilet paper in the mail. And now he can speak at his impossible "700 times per year" pace that he claims to maintain.

300 times a year. :). He really does. It does not bother me because I just don't think about the labels when he or anyone speaks their mind. I never was interested in science in school, just accounting and business. When I discovered his seminars, I loved them. I took these 4 couses his ministry offers too. I learned more good science, and I am not just talking about the evolution subject, from those courses. He is a great teacher. The courses were very good. It was "distance". It is called CSE 101, 102, 103, 104. Each one has 6 tapes and 8-9 quizzes, you have to read a book and write an 850 word synopsis for each one and take a final exam for each one. The books I read were, "Seven Men who Ruled the World from the grave, The Young Earth, New Age Bible versions, and the hard one was Walt Brown's In the Beginning"
He just has a great style of teaching. I love his style.
