I actually read a few pages and found his style so pathetically ill-educated that I thought I would find out more about him. Here is a brief sample:
"January 2007, Hovind has been serving a ten-year prison sentence after being convicted of 58 federal counts, including 12 tax offenses, one count of obstructing federal agents, and 45 counts of structuring cash transactions. He is incarcerated at the FPC Satellite Camp of the ADX Florence prison in Florence, Colorado."
Nice honest chap then!
"He holds three degrees in Christian education (1974, 1988, 1991) from unaccredited institutions."
"Prior to his convictions, Hovind spoke at churches, private schools, and other venues each year. Hovind also hosted a daily internet radio talk show and has established Dinosaur Adventure Land in Pensacola, Florida."
So, he probably makes good money out of his rubbish.
"Hovind attended the non-accredited Midwestern Baptist College and received a Bachelor of Religious Education."
"In 1988 and 1991 respectively, Hovind was awarded a master's degree and doctorate in Christian Education through correspondence from the non-accredited Patriot University in Colorado Springs."
"Having a website called "Dr. Dino" has provoked some academics to look closely at how Hovind presents his education and credentials. Chemistry professor Karen Bartelt has said that it is "very unusual for a person with a Ph.D., even a real one, to list oneself in the phonebook as "Dr Hovind", as Hovind has done.""
"Barbara Forrest, a professor of philosophy, expert on the history of creationism and activist in the creation-evolution controversy, wrote that Hovind's lack of academic training makes it impossible to engage him on a professional level."
All in all, an ill-educated trickster making money out of the even more ill-educated. No doubt a very good Christian too.
