Wonder why nobody has bothered to read this? Or at least post comments. Unless somebody already knows Hovind and decide not to read it because he didn't play his taxes. Sure, he wanted to get away with it but you should at least read his material, the man is not very good but the content is good.

I love Dr. Hovind.
Evolutionists hate him.

Aren't ministries supposed to be tax exempt?

This has been hashed so many times I almost didn't post. People aren't reading it because they know he is an idiot. If it was on the New York Times best seller list I wouldn't waste my time on his dribble..................................

Oh, My Gosh! I just looked out my window and saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex! It was being ridden by three pygmies from the congo. They told me dyno riding is pretty common among the pygmies as the congo is full of dinosaurs.

Who's to say some dinosaurs didn't survive until today?

Similar to the coelacanthus?

The burden of proof is on you. Who's to say that little green fairies don't exist?

Well, I read it until I could not stop laughing.

I could not ignore the complete contradictions of the PDF file. The whole "Green Cheese" thing had me in tears. Why? Because all organized religion do the same exact thing. Let's have some supposed preposterous thing discovered and then worship it. Be it a gourd or a shoe. It is all the same.

Then there is the going on about if evolution were true then life is just about partying and passing on our genes! Yeah, okay. Another contradiction. Worship the almighty, follow the rules and get into the kingdom. I've sinned, I have really, really sinned. Hell, I was born, that is one of the biggest right there. So the only point of being born and living is to worship a so-called creator, just so I can live with said individual in the afterlife? I should just off myself now if this is the case.


It really, at least to me, was all just opinions and conjecture.

He doesn't know. I don't know. That is the fun of it: the ride.

Hovind is a liar, making money from lies he sells to gullible people who want to hear his lies.

He begins his series of several hundred lies on page for of the Acrobat document: "Some people believe in the evolution theory, which teaches that we all came from a rock 4.6 billion years ago." Great big lie.

From 1972 until 1974, Hovind attended the non-accredited Midwestern Baptist College and received a Bachelor of Religious Education (B.R.E.).[6] In 1988 and 1991 respectively, Hovind was awarded a master's degree and doctorate in Christian Education through correspondence from the unaccredited Patriot University in Colorado Springs, Colorado (now Patriot Bible University in Del Norte, Colorado which no longer offers this program).

Being un-accredited does not necessarily make a college or University a diploma mill!
Maybe some of the requirements are arbitrary and require non-Christian (anti-Christian) ethics to be taught.
Some private institutions choose to not gain accreditation, but, they should still set their standards high.
I mean Paul the apostle was highly educated.

Having a website called "Dr. Dino," has provoked some academics to closely look at how Hovind presents his education and credentials.[12] Chemistry professor Karen Bartelt has said that it is "very unusual for a person with a Ph.D., even a real one," [emphasis in original] to list oneself in the phonebook as "Dr Hovind", as Hovind has done"

Well, that's just one person's nit-picking opinion.




Here's some other stuff that he believes.
I can't say I disagree with much of it.

Hovind has several conspiracy theories about the U.S. government. He believes that Laetrile actually works as a "cancer cure" and teaches that the US government is conspiring to suppress a cure for cancer.[22] On his radio program he has said that the U.S. government was behind the 9/11 attacks and that a "lot of folks were told not to come to work."[67] He also believes the Oklahoma City bombing was carried out by the government. "Did you know the Federal Government blew up their own building to blame it on the militias and to get rid of some people that weren't cooperating with the system?"[68] He also alleges that "UFOs are apparitions of Satan" and that the US government possesses UFOs.[68] Additionally, Hovind believes that the Federal Reserve, the Council on Foreign Relations, the United Nations, and various other groups are actively planning to create a one world government and that the 1993 World Trade Center attack was staged by the US Government in order to pass "anti-terrorism" legislation that restricts civil liberties. He says, "I love my country, but fear my government. And you should too."[69]

As part of his "one world government" conspiracy theory, Hovind also believes that HIV, West Nile Fever, Gulf war syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Wegener's disease, Parkinson's disease, Crohn's colitis, Type I diabetes, and collagen-vascular diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's were all engineered by "the money masters and governments of the world" for the purpose of global economic domination.

certainly DO say that life came from rocks!!!

It would benefit you to read the articles again. The authors DO NOT propose that life evolved FROM rocks.

Are you engaged in spreading lies as well?

So is Hovind really that stupid or does does he just do it for a joke?

It's really a case of spot the fact amongst the lies, out of date information, missing information, general non sequiters and other misleading nonsense .......




And I love the way he claims something didn't happen, fails to provide the information that shows it did happen, and then offers an alternative explanation with no evidence whatsoever to support it other than the word of the Almighty Ken Hovind (just see his imaginary lake which suddenly drained in a matter of weeks to form the Grand Canyon as a good example! )

You are as wrong as Hovind and either are unable to comprehend the material or are purposefully attempting to deceive.

The method proposed in the articles is not suggesting "life came from rocks" period. By claiming the material say otherwise, you're promoting falsehoods.

Please explain to me (in laymens terms) WHAT those articles state.
'Promoting falsehoods'.

University of Chicago geophysicist Joseph V. Smith, in a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences paper published Tuesday, March 31, provides a theory for how small organic molecules may have been able to assemble on the surfaces of minerals into self-replicating biomolecules--the essential building blocks of life.

(emphasis mine)

The statement "on the surfaces of" that I emphasized above should be a sufficient statement for anyone with a rudimentary reading comprehension to understand.

Smith postulates that this chemistry could have been facilitated by silica-rich minerals resembling zeolites, porous crystals with channels running through them.

(emphasis mine)

Again, a clearly expressed statement, "could have been facilitated", is of sufficient clarity for those with basic reading comprehension skills.


Those who are not attempting to twist basic words into deceptive falsehoods will understand these statements to clearly indicate the hypothesis presented is not suggesting "life came from rocks".

Good grief. This guys problem with evolution is that it gives him a moral crisis because if no-one is telling him how to be nice to people, he doesn't see the point?

His little list on page 7 was wonderful. Yes, each point was true. The utter, cold, uncaring truth. It is a shame the universe is like that, but what are you gonna do?

Man should be proud of the achievements he makes for himself, like the concepts of mercy, justice, charity and love. Why should we feel like we should pass the kudos for these incredible feats to someone else? We did it, we should pat ourselves on the back.
