Hovind is a fucking nut case. He should be in a loony bin, not a prison.

Thank God someone took care of that. Every time I read his articles I felt like reaching through space and time and ripping his nuts out.

Guess he missed that passage in the Bible about rendering unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's, and unto God what is God's.

I worte this up a while ago

We all know that Kent Hovind is a few fries short of a happy meal even as creationists go and we could all read about him on wikiepdia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_Hovind) to get a general taste of his lunacy, but a few of his quotes standout.

All information taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_Hovind, http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Kent_Hovind, http://www.kent-hovind.com/quotes, and his videos

First a quick background, Kent Hovind is a well know young earth creationist From what I can extrapolate seems to belive that an anti-Christian Satan worshipping New World order aided by Satan is trying to take over the world. More so he believes that the government/New World Order/The rich purposely caused The Great Depression, Oklahoma City Bombing, 911, invented HIV, West Nile Fever, Gulf war syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Wegener's disease, Parkinson's disease, Crohn's colitis, Type I diabetes, collagen-vascular diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis Alzheimer's and framed the Moon landing among other things.

Now for the quotes

Vaccinations for young children

"Satan is seeing to it that well meaning parents are destroying their children's immune system by putting over 22 viruses into their system before they are two." http://www.cbbc.net/RS/ 6 Jan 2002 Session #3 @ 18:00

The common cold

“Some bacteria today seem to cause problems. And same thing with viruses, they cause problems. But it may only be to the weaker individuals. When somebody gets a cold, if a virus is really causing this, why doesn't everybody get the cold”?

General craziness

“One world government is coming very soon. I think they are going to worship Lucifer.”

Opinion on Global warming

“I think most of the global warming is a hoax designed to advance the Communist Manifesto plank #1, you know, more government regulation of your private property.”

You know those vapor trails you see large plans leave in they sky? Kent Hovind thinks there a part of a big plot.

“Chemtrails, you know, the airplanes that fly over in a criss-cross pattern in the sky - you know, makes the big checker board trails in the sky - when they are releasing chemicals that are dispersing through the atmosphere and covering large cities. Many people have gotten extremely seriously worried about this, and rightfully so. [.....] There's a lot of theories about what is going on - there is a whole lot of secrecy too about what is going on - nobody seems to know for sure. It appears there are some people who seriously would like to reduce the population of the planet to about a half billion. [.....] And there are an awful lot of folks who think, and I happen to be one of those that agrees, that this chemtrail thing is one of the things that sets up the population for plagues, or whatever, coming soon.”

That was the Fark headline when he first went to trial.

Ha ha, I think this one's going to keep me amused for the rest of the day...



Hovind's pretty mental. Even other Creationists find his theories wacked out.

"The Earth is billions of years old. The geologic column is the way to interpret it, and Charles Darwin's evolution is right." That is what they teach in order to be a good communist. Did you know that Russian teachers come to America to study education because the American educational system is considered the best in the world for teaching students these three principals. This prepares them to be good communists and to doubt the word of God. "
