I'm an atheist. I love Kent Hovind (Dr. Dino). He has an amazing talent for presenting arguments in an understandable and downright enjoyable form. Unfortunately, he is *not* a credible scientist. I encourage anybody to watch his lectures, but keep this page open:

If you do this, you'll see that his arguments, though they sound convincing, are simply not true.
Dr. Dino is also currently in serious legal trouble for tax evasion. He was found guilty, and according to Wikipedia, he is currently being held by the Escambia County Sheriff's Office.

He uses some actual facts and some sort of extrapolated quasi facts. But he uses them in the wrong contexts and wrong applications. He uses them to distort real science and spin the truth. He also is flat out wrong on some of his science.
Here is an example of what his arguments are like: 100% of all serial killers have eaten toast in their lifetime. Therefor, it is obvious that toast causes people to become serial killers.

relies upon on the form of Atheist. If no longer something, the main reknown, effective scientists are overwhelmingly (yet no longer solely) Atheists. If for no different reason: a scientist that is a Christian, as an occasion, is helpful by specific assumptions bearing directly to the character of the Universe. Now the issues he works on could by no skill butt-up against those assumptions in one in each of those way that derails the objectivity of his artwork. whether it could desire to. i assume you could desire to think of approximately it this variety: anyone working below any assumption bearing directly to the character of the Universe (including "God does not exist" has a minimum of a million greater constraint upon their innovations than anyone who does not have one in each of those concept... and that i think of the human beings with the fewest constraints make the final Scientists, because of the fact they are in a position to verify the information greater objectively.

Never heard of him. He doesn't sound very credible, from who you've described.
