What do some of you evolutionists have against Hovind? I mean, I'm kinda curious, but if his resarch is so flawed and you are right, then how come no one has ever taken that $250,000.00 off his hands?

Because he has a phony degree from a diploma mill.
Because he lies.
Because he does not do science.
Because it's infuriating that fundamentalists will countenance his duplicity. |

Kent Hovind's research? What's that? Actually, we are all simply jealous of Kent.  |

I don't agree with Kent Hovind's view of creation. I did at one time agree with his view, but that was before I started to think. Now I do agree that evolution, darwinian evolution that is, cannot explain or facilitate the kinds of changes that most evolutionists believe. But most people don't even take Kent Hovind seriously. He's good at insults and sarcasm but when it comes to providing a testable model for his view that holds up to scrutiny, he fails miserably. Just my take, God Bless.

Yeah, Hovind had 250K for anyone who can prove evolution to him. And I am offering 100 Million Dollars for anyone who will convince me that invisible pixies do not inhabit my garden.
Those are US$ too. |

Reps: 16 (power: 0) | | | Of course I can't give any examples, because Kent Hovind does not do any research. It's like asking me for examples of Homer Simpson's shoddy work. Homer Simpsons doesn't *do* any work.
Kent Hovind sells VHS tapes, co-authors Jack Chick tracts, and conducts fundamentalist sing-alongs at flat-earther revivals. You're asking us for the impossible. |

Reps: 16 (power: 0) | | | He has lied repeatedly about the content and length of his 'doctoral dissertation.'
When you write a dissertation and get your Ph.D., that's it---your thesis is your thesis.
Hovind got his Ph.D. from a diploma mill, the kind of place that paid a disreputable company for its 'accredation.' Anyway, his thesis was a piece of garbage. He has lengthened it and changed it, and now passes it off as his thesis, but doesn't let anyone have access to his real thesis.
Considering his intellectual abilities, I can see why. It'd probably be acutely embarrassing to let anyone read the real thing. |
