Young-earth creationist Kent Hovind's doctoral dissertation
#31
RE: Young-earth creationist Kent Hovind's doctoral dissertation
I remember trying to read it when it first leaked out. It took me quite a while but I managed to wade through it. A more turgid, childish document I've never encountered before, nor hopefully since. Apparently there's a lot more problems with it being supposedly a doctoral dissertation than just the content as well. For a start, the fact that it was vomited out of a dot matrix printer which apparently is not the done thing, even for the time it was written. Plus its single illustration is totally out of place and just taped onto the page. Then there's the fact that once a dissertation is submitted, it becomes a finished and bound document which is then added to the relevant library. A person can do further research into the topic but the dissertation itself remains untouched. Also, the work must be original and must add to the body of knowledge. Hovind's... thing... does none of the above, which is a huge slap in the face for anyone who actually worked their bits off to earn a legitimate PhD.

It would make for a good drinking game though.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
