I wasn't aware that Hovind had any credibility to start with.

" It should be noted that many of his fellow young-earthers consider him to be an embarrasment and that many of his arguments can be found in Arguments we think creationists should NOT use published by the young-earth creationist organization Answers in Genesis."

Fair enough, but for whatever reason, until you, I've never seen a creationist freeper ever willing to say a word against him. That's over a space of years.

Got any idea why this is so?

You have little problem here finding evolutionists who'll denounce, say, S.J. Gould's leftist views (or Haldane's outright communism) or who'll concede that Richard Dawkins' bashing of theists is gratuitous and annoying, and so on. But antievolutionists here seem unwilling to criticize a fellow antis on any grounds.

For added fun, an interview with a Creationist.

True. It does appear that he is an embarrassment to creationist community for some of the arguments he continues to use.
