Eh, credentials, schmedentials. Check out Hovind's reputation with other young earth creationists. :-)
Fascinating.
I donno why, but that reminds me of something I saw on TV a couple of years ago. A big-time spammer got arrested for all kinds of frauds, and they interviewed another spammer who claimed to be a legitimate internet marketer. The "legit" guy said the was glad the other guy got arrested, because he was "giving the penis-enlargement industry a bad name."
An excellent link...I notice that both the AiG and Hovind agree, that its most likely that Darwin never recanted on his deathbed, and that the known evidence shows that Darwin never recanted on his deathbed...in fact, Hovind says, that he never recalls ever having used the 'recant' claim in his lectures, as he considers it to be untrue...
Yet, every once in a while, we have some FR 'expert', throw out that line, that "Darwin recanted"...obviously, they are not on board with the most up to date, current creationist/ID points of discussion...
