I don't know why. I mean, what you said is true... he is a fraud.

Oh, tax evasion is not the end of his troubles. In the past he's been charged with assault and battery, and burglary. Also, all of his "degrees" are from unaccredited universities. As far as anyone except those "unaccredited universities" are concerned, he's a high school graduate, nothing more.
Edit: Stephen Gould backing Kent Hovind?! You've got to be freaking kidding me. Kent Hovind wanted to debate Gould about creationism vs. evolution, and Gould refused, NOT because he respected Hovind but... well, here, let him say it:
"Debate is an artform. It is about the winning of arguments. It is not about the discovery of truth. There are certain rules and procedures to debate that really have nothing to do with establishing fact - which they are very good at. Some of those rules are: never say anything positive about your own position because it can be attacked, but chip away at what appear to be the weaknesses in your opponent's position. They are good at that. I don't think I could beat the creationists at debate. I can tie them. But in courtrooms they are terrible, because in courtrooms you cannot give speeches. In a courtroom you have to answer direct questions about the positive status of your belief. We destroyed them in Arkansas. On the second day of the two week trial we had our victory party!" (S.J. Gould, Caltech lecture, 1985)

i in my view study all of what you published good study. yet just to remark, i became into consistently below the impact that christianity became into on the decline and that the US became into shifting interior the process Europe by using fixing right into a greater secular and non non secular u . s .. i've got not executed any study whether or not you're dazzling that we interior the US are dropping our side in technology and or math skills because of the fact of creationist indoctrinations. i'm conscious that the learn interior the technology disciplines have decline yet i might suspect that that is because of the fact of a loss of pay in those fields. Our Society is greater bearing directly to the main important return of capital for the smallest volume of artwork. Our American babies are transforming into up in a subculture have been each thing is approximately having it dazzling now: rapid video clips, rapid video games, instant suggestions and rapid food. a brilliant number of what technology is approximately demands dedication and discovery and that i'm specific that the coaching of technology interior the school rooms in all likelihood hasn't shop up with the technologies with the intention to captivate the minds of on the instant's youths. i've got confidence and wish that faith/faith will quickly fade away.

Because most creationists are stupid and are willing to buy into anyone that justifies what they believe. Look at that idiot john above me that doesn't even know how to spell Stephen Jay Gould's name and claims he backs up Dr. Dino.

Suckers are everywhere. Just look at the "Nigerian Scam". As long as you can exploit human weakness and insecurities, you sure can convinced them that pigs can fly and the earth is flat. After all they are all trained as "salesman" for Creationist.

That was never true...
Dont believe everything you read about him... I have actually studied most of his work... Steven Gool backs up a lot of his work even though he is against creation...
There is even a video on his website that addresses most of the so called "anti hovind" websites... I think you should at least watch that first before making acusations about someone you dont know personally...
thanks...

Why? Same reason conservatives trust Rush Limbaugh or communists trusted Stalin. He validates their existing belief system.

because, if they had the basic understanding of science required to refute him... they wouldn't be creationists.
