Why would you think that Dr. Hovand is a credible scientist?

Question

I don't know, he lost me when he said dinosaurs lived with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. How could any credible scientist mix earth history with a faith system which can't possibly be proven scientifically. (just because you say the bible is the word of God does not make it earth history) Any credible scientist would know this. SO my question is, is he for real and is he out of his mind?

Answer 1

He's not even a scientist, let alone a credible one.

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.

Answer 3

good question, I assume he just has some block against science and his mind is run by emotion. Guess you could call it a dementia of some kind
