Kent E. Hovind (born January 15, 1953) is an American evangelist and prominent Young Earth creationist who is serving a ten year term in U.S. federal prison for tax fraud. The self-styled "Dr. Dino" (whose Ph.D, from an unaccredited university, is in Christian education) established the Creation Science Evangelism Ministry in 1989.
On November 2, 2006, Hovind was found guilty by a jury in a Pensacola, Florida federal court of fifty-eight federal tax and tax-related offenses; his wife, Jo, was also convicted on 44 counts. On January 19, 2007, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison, three years of probation after his sentence is served, and $640,000 in restitution.
Kent Hovind has been in trouble with law enforcement several times. These have included assault and battery, falsely declaring bankruptcy, making threats against federal officials, filing false complaints, failing to get necessary building permits, and various tax-related charges.

I'm an atheist by the way. I just thought it funny to see Dr. Dino have a record for assault and tax evasion and fun stuff. He's often quoted here as a 'good source' by creationists.

No. You will go to hell for spreading the lies of Satan such as evolution, plate tectonics and French cuisine!
Look the so-called "assault and battery" was against a gay genetic scientist, so that hardly counts, does it? As the federal officials are actually minions of Beelzebub they need to be threatened.
How could Dr Dino have "falsely" filed for bankruptcy? Having followed the teachings of Jesus he dedicated all his wealth to the fight (and a few gaudy suits) against Satan and so all that money wasn't really "his" - so he was a pauper, so he could legitimately file for bankruptcy. The "tax charges" were just a misunderstanding, Dr Dino followed Christian faith-based practice whilst the tax authorities thought he should follow the MAN MADE law rather than the infallible word of the Bible (and don't come back with that "renders unto Cesar that which is Cesar's" nonesense - last I looked the IRS didn't wear togas!).
Building permits? Ha! Did Noah have a building permit?

Well, that's a first. I can answer my own question because some jackass got my account suspended.
Way to go, Yahoo! Thanks for just suspending account, not responding to my queries, and for making my flickr account inaccessible.
And my answer is: Dr. Dino is a bigot, a liar, and a wife beater who can rot in hell for eternity. Sadly there is no thing such as hell but I hope prison teaches him a new trick or two.

Oh my goodness, I had no idea. This man came to my church about ten years ago and gave a presentation and I thought him brilliant. I pray that God be with him day in and day out. God works all things for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose. If this man sinned, and has asked forgiveness, he is forgiven. Of course he won't go to hell.
It's not very kind, by the way, to take pleasure in the misfortune of others....even if they may have brought it on themselves. I hope you never take a fall and have people gloat over it.

Even you can go to heaven and you will either end up there or in hell for all eternity, after death.

The real question is how many people is he taking with him.

Remember, a criminal who was hanging on the cross next to Jesus' went to heaven. How? He repented and was TRULY sorry for what he did. If Dr. Dino goes to confesssion, repents, and is TRULY sorry, I don't see why he shouldn't go to heaven.

First of all, no one is perfect. Second of all only God can judge people.

If he dies expecting to see hell, he sure will.
