Kent Hovind denies Relativity

[Astonished]

That they're majoring in theology or some other such nonsense means they're likely getting the degree from some worthless diploma mill that probably doesn't even have an accreditation, if they even bother going through any kind of actual school building and not just some online speed-through course catalogue. I don't care if they get a Ph.D in theology from fucking Harvard, they're not a goddamn doctor.

Hovind got his "degree" from Patriot University. This tiny little building out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere.

I thought it was a mobile trailer?

It's a little bigger than a trailer, but not by much.

LOL. Faith may not be genetic but a predisposition for low intelligence and dishonesty seems to be, in that family's case.

Get ready for Episode Three: Revenge of the Shit

I don't want to leaf thru the whole topic here, but I wonder if it's been speculated yet perhaps Hovind finds relativity a little too Jewish for comfort ??


The issue has arisen before . . .

Meh! Getting knowledge about space time from the likes of Brian Cox and Hawkins is inspiring enough that I do not need to seek expalanations from amusement park operators.

Um if you are thinking of the Ark idiot that would be Ken Ham. Kent Hovind is is an idiot too but not the guy who owns the genocide/incest park.

But he's a household name in the YEC circles. They're a minority but the loudest and most prominent voices arguing for a young earth and literal flood are Ham and Hovind.

He's the worst type of deluded fucktard preacher crook.  And his "doctoral dissertation" is so idiotic it will make your brains leak out of your ears.  Among other things, such as varied mail and title fraud schemes, he's a member of the Sovereign Citizen Movement - he denies that any government has any authority over him, because he answers to only one:  his god.

Kent Hovind has been charged with many, many crimes, including: assault, battery, and burglary, failure to observe zoning regulations, constructing a building without a permit, refusing to sign a citation, and violating the county building code. Also for running a business (Creation Science Evangelism and Dinosaur Adventure Land) without a license, without tax-exempt status, and refusing to pay taxes.  His stance was that as a minister of god, he was not a citizen of the United States, and that everything he had belonged to god. 
   In 1998 he bragged that he hadn't paid taxes in 30 years.  In 2002 he actually tried to sue the IRS for harassment!  
   According to the IRS, Hovind earned $50,000 a year through speaking engagements alone, and CSE sold more than $1.8 million in merchandise. He received unreported personal donations. He refused to pay any taxes.  
   In 2006 he was indicted on 58 counts of tax fraud and evasion. He was sent to jail for 10 years and his wife for one.  
   In 2015 he was indicted for mail fraud and criminal contempt.  

He should be a poster-boy for atheism and why fundie religion rots people's brains and turns people into criminals, but he (and his son, Eric) still has a huge following.

I'm seeing Eric Hovind on youtube a lot lately in the debunking videos from various youtube channels. The guy's voice, body language and tone all make him sound like he knows exactly how full of shit he is.
