We know the Hovinds.Mr. Hovind has several P H D ‘s after his name.I consider him to be a Godly man.HIs entire family are christians.Real christians , not the sort that pretend to be something they are not.
This is not a novice your talking about and have jailed.I predict some intelligent lawyer will see the need to get Mr. Hovind released from his sentence.
This is in the same genre that Jim Bakers case came under.It will come to an end soon .I pray to that end. Hold on Hovinds , the Brotherhood is coming.

from the mail:

"Evolution is taking place around us all the time. It's why the MRSA superbug has become so dangerously immune to antibiotics, why the race is on to beat the swine flu virus."

evolution is real but that does not mean you have to like it….

Have a look at this review of the book, which was a link from http://www.mediawatchwatch.org.uk/2009/07/21/mail... when Christopher Hart was the subject, with regard to his criticism of the film Antichrist, which he had not even bothered to watch! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1200486/T... Apparently he HAD got round to reading the book, and was wetting his pants over the astounding insight of the author, despite the fact that the arguments are as full of holes as a colander - not the least of these being the rather inconvenient fact that the events of Genesis do NOT follow those of the appearance of life on earth (as most of us are well aware) and the author knew it!! Doh!!! (Perhaps it would have been wiser on reflection if Mr Hart had watched the film and NOT read the book!!)

Whenever I read his blog, I find myself suffering from the Crikey Moses syndrome!

Fair play, though. He made some profound comments: "A building needs a designer." He could have added that with crooks such as himself tax payers need a tax inspector.

He has that shifty, sly look of the crook Fundie.

If you put "Pics of Kent Hovind" in your address bar, a lot of funny stuff comes up, including a spoof book cover Tax Advice Made Easy! I see that he is another of these fundamentalists who believes that the human race was once giant-sized, and lo and behold, he has a bone to prove it!! If you go to http://thebeattitude.com/ and scroll down to the entry for 27th July ("If there is an intelligent designer, explain human teeth") there is a lot of comment, and some fascinating videos, concerning giant "human" fossils. This is all news to me, even though I used to be a fundamentalist myself, and seems to be an American idea. Although the Bible does mention giants in Genesis, it doesn't seem to imply that ALL men were originally of enormous proportions - in fact those references seem to negate that theory to me! However, there is even more on YouTube (mainly photoshopped fakes of course!), so if you fancy a good laugh have a look!!

Thanks for pointing that out, Barrie, correction has been made.

I've just noticed that your title has Ken Hovind, Barry, which explains why I spelt his name that way in the first instance and then had to correct it! I checked on the net, and it seems you're not the only one who's made that slip!!

OK this doesn't have much to do with the article, except in so far as it's a theist's interpretation of events.... Dr Andrew Parker, 41, is *******a biologist at Oxford University********. His latest book, The Genesis Enigma: Why The Bible Is Scientifically Accurate, claims the story of Genesis matches the history of the universe so accurately it could only have been written with divine intervention. http://www.metro.co.uk/fame/interviews/article.ht...
