Anyone who’s endured this forum for long enough may remember a few discussions
in which the name Dr. Kent Hovind has appeared. He’s a famous Young-Earth
Creationist who has famously posted a challenge to any “evolutionist” who can
prove that evolution occurred. Hovind’s standards of proof are so ill-defined
and so strict that it would be difficult, using them, to prove to Hovind that he
himself exists, much less that a theory describing a complex biological process
is correct. Nonetheless, Hovind crows about the fact that no one has yet won
the $250,000 prize that he allegedly will award to whoever can provide this
evolutionary proof. Interestingly, he has never demonstrated that the $250K
actually exists, either.
Anyway, Hovind was recently
arrested for failure to pay various taxes, to the tune of some $473,818.
Not that this, in itself, discredits the philosophy of Creationism in particular
or of Evangelicals in general, but it’s satisfying to see a career huckster
finally having to pay his dues.
Dave!
