Not exactly a surprise. Except to his deluded followers.
The Pensacola News-Journal has the original story but it can't be posted here.
Evolution is still a lie, built on supposition after theory after "might be".
I am deeply saddened.
No, wait, I'm not! :)
An allusion to "holocaust denier"? Maybe I am reading too much into your choice of words, but perhaps they say a little more then you wanted.
Now, if they could only somehow get him to stop calling himself "Doctor".
The County attorney Allison Rogers can stop this by simply dropping the case.
Sheriff Ron McNesby can simply refuse to help shut down the Lord’s Church. Hitler’s men should have refused his orders. George Bush told the Iraqi soldiers to refuse any orders to set oil wells on fire.
This is classic - you can't make this stuff up!
Personally, I think you ought to be able to build a dinosaur adventure land on your property without asking anyone's permission. However, that's not what the laws say today, and there's every reasonable expectation that Hovind should follow county building ordinances. Hovind has taken the "we're a church and exempt from the law" thing a bit too far before, which is why he's already in trouble with the IRS. Similarly, I don't like the IRS and I think we ought to get rid of it, but until we do I have to pay taxes and so does he.
A poster on another website said that if it's razed, they can call it "Chicxulub Adventure Land"
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN has ceased to be about explaining real science for the layman. This is another example of a politicized magazine with pieces shadowboxing their 'enemy' ... who cares? what's of scientific interest that some obscure creationist dude cant get a park running? BFD, its not science its gossip.
After their Waxman article, after they bashed Teller, after they smeared "Skeptical Environmentalist", after they made bogus stem cell reaserch their most important scientific acheivement of 2004, and after they used the left-wing org UCS to bash Bush on his science policy in 2004 ... I gave up on it. Its current editor has thoroughly politicized the magazine and IMHO ruined it.
Now, they are just a science journal version of the MSM - agenda-driven, not fact-driven. Sad.
EVILutionist Darwinism (which leads to sodomy, communism, atheism, bad breath, bad knees, bad back, and eternal damnation in hellfire) conspiracy to ruin Hovind and brainwash children with satanic science, facts, information - PING. :)
Hey!
All you God-fearing Christians out there! Forget about the Christ rising from the dead. These scientists will assure you that a 3 day dead body has millions of dead cells that cannot be restored to life. The chemical changes cannot be reversed, the organs have had it! To restore that situation would require ......su..per..nat..tur..al.. power. The same kind of power to create life on a speck of a ball in a vast universe.
To the scientific minds out there (you atheists, take a break) that claim to be Christian, yet believe in evolution:
Which is harder? Turning water into wine? killing a fig tree by talking to it? Feeding thousands with a couple of fish and a few loaves of bread? Walking on water? Raising the dead? Or creating a turnkey, ready to function, living planet in short order?
I can't do any of those things, so for me, there is no difference. Lord, I believe.
I have the same reaction every time. Here I am, able to view the world from my home via a computer, and some of the same people doing the same thing are somehow stuck in the 15th century and proud of it.
I just don't get it.
The flat earth society is alive, well and growing.
Just kill me now.
No, but to hold him up as an example of all crationism or I.D. is no more valid than us holding Henkel's false embryos up as an example of all evo's.
To have his entire operation shut down over a little permit fee simply because he is stupid and obstinate is rediculous.
Scripture directs Christians to pay taxes and duties to those whom they are due.
Thanks for the ping. LOL, the Earth is only six thousand years old and dinosaurs and man once lived together alert!
Darn. Oh well, I guess it's Disneyland again this year.
Do they think that because Mexican foreigners know how to operate without permits that it is so easy that Creationists can do it too?
