If hell exists, I'm sure there's a special spot for people like this.
You have a point there. It's the behavior of the evangelicals that preys on those who are genuinely wanting to support a worthy cause.I am strangely of two minds on that one. In the end, my grandmother probably found a lot of peace and satisfaction from donating to Oral Roberts. It wasn't like she was expecting to get a piece of merchandise, or part of a Nigerian prince's inheritance. She got exactly what she expected to get, a belief that she was helping someone.
I guess I look at it like gambling. There is no secret that the odds are stacked against you, and you will lose your money in the long run. Still, many people find enjoyment out of a game that they are designed to lose.
Apparently Kent's charges have been dismissed.
Kent Hovind is a good example of the government and "powers that be" trying to silence the exposing of the TOE for what it is, and the persecution that anyone will face, if they publicly contradict this hoax AND spread the good news of the gospel and the truth of creation.
The "structuring" charge is meant to catch drug dealers and money launderers.
I don't know what country you're from, but for the record, we had the government taking money out of our pockets to fund science's SETI project -- not to mention funding NASA.I guess I look at it like gambling.

And so do you, assuming you vote?At least your grandmother had a chance to say, "No, thanks."
Frankly, you'd all be better off funding SETI and NASA than your endless flaming wars.I don't know what country you're from, but for the record, we had the government taking money out of our pockets to fund science's SETI project -- not to mention funding NASA.
So I really don't want to hear it about you guys being shystered by con men.
How does it feel?

No comment.Frankly, you'd all be better off funding SETI and NASA than your endless flaming wars.
I'm not a YEC though.
(But I take it that doesn't matter?)
Yup.And yet you don't believe the earth has orbited the sun more than 10,000 times.
If man can create his universes with age why would it be a problem with God doing even more in His creation?And yet you don't believe the earth has orbited the sun more than 10,000 times.

False history = false history.Sure. But then accept that the false history shows what scientists say they observe.
Again, I have to ask.
What is this fixation* with Kent Hovind?
* For those who can't handle that word, use "fascination."
that is just more lies and accusations , and proof is his charges have been dismissed and he did more than 10 years for bogus charges by liberals and liars and real thieves and lawlessness . now there isn't anything new under the sun.
He does not have a fake degree. There is a difference between non accredited correspondence schools and fake degrees.It's the same kind of fixation all the other cult leaders generate, people keep wondering what they will do next, he might even reopen that diploma mill where he bought his fake degree or even set up a new one, it would be a sensible move because he could then surround himself with lots of those doctorates the creationists love so much.
I think creationism will die even quicker with him leading the charge, he will come out smelling of money so he won't be too upset, at least he will be a smarter tax payer in the future.
He will be making enough money to keep him and the tax man happy, give him a month then watch him go.
Hovind could not keep his mouth shut.Then they're entitled to their opinions, and you're certainly entitled to parrot them.Are you anxious for them to do so, so you'll know if he is or not?I don't know.
Do they?
Lots of people are in jail that would not be there if they had used their right to remain silent and their right not to incriminate themselves.Do you really think the government conspired to put Kent Hovind away just because he spoke out against evolution?
