The wild, wild world of
Kent Hovind
Mr. Kent Hovind is a Young Earth Creationist, one of those narrow
biblical literalists that insist on claiming that every word in the bible is the
absolute truth. Naturally, this gives rise to conflicts with modern scientific
research, which contradict the literal interpretation of the bible. Mr. Hovind
has found ways of rejecting the findings of modern science, and to those ends he
has concocted the "Hovind Theory" of creation.
Kent Hovind
(b. 195?)
Kent Hovind is a young-earth creationist who gives frequent public lectures on evolution and creationism. He is well-known for repeating the claim that the remains of a basking shark found by Japanese fishermen off the coast of New Zealand were actually those of a recently deceased plesiosaur.
Hovind claims to possess a masters degree and a doctorate in education from Patriot University in Colorado. According to Hovind, his 250-page dissertation was on the topic of the dangers of teaching evolution in the public schools. Formerly affiliated with Hilltop Baptist Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Patriot University is accredited only by the American Accrediting Association of Theological Institutions, an accreditation mill that provides accreditation for a $100 charge. Patriot University has moved to Alamosa, Colorado and continues to offer correspondence courses for $15 to $32 per credit. The school's catalog contains course descriptions but no listing of the school's faculty or their credentials. Name It and Frame It lists Patriot University as a degree mill [3]http://training.loyola.edu/cdld/nifi.html.

THE CAMPUS OF THE "PATRIOT U."
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Temple/9917/evolution/pucampus.jpg
Patriot University, where Kent Hovind received his so-called "Ph.D.".
He claims that when he went there, it was located somewhere else.
So what? What kind of "university" would ever locate
itself in a split-level??

New-- A new webpage at No Answers in Genesis about Kent Hovind and his bogus challenge.
Very recently two scientists, unbeknown to each other, have taken up Mr Hovind's
challenge. The following articles indicate clearly that Kent Hovind's $250,000
"challenge" is completely and utterly bogus. Kent Hovind's "$250,000 Award to Prove
