If you took the time to listen to what the man [Kent Hovind] has to say, you would find a wealth of information.
Sorry, but did darwin hold any degrees?
No matter the degree held by Hovind, darwin was no more than a dreamer of long ago and far away places and processes, publishing a book of fantasy. Hovind publishes facts based on observable scientific processes and exposes the lies that are being taught in the schools.

Darwin probably had more legitimate education than Hovind does. Not to mention Darwin, despite being trained as a Church of England priest, did a tremendous amount of observation and research. All Hovind ever did was make shit up to support a predetermined conclusion.
I know what you mean, credited degrees from those well established and authentic universities really aren't worth the paper they're printed on...not like those ones you can buy for $29.99 of the internet, those are solid gold!
Strangely enough, I have listened to what the man had to say.
Generally, what he said showed a profound misunderstanding of science in general. The man has a marked lack of understanding of basic physics, chemistry, history, biology, or geology. He repeats arguments that have been refuted over and over again, and makes up new "facts" at need, without regard to their accuracy--or even their validity. He consistently misrepresents scientific research to create support for his position when none exists. His grasp of biblical scholarship is also questionable. His thesis is also not available for public viewing, which is, in itself, irregular in the extreme; those few people outside of Patriot U. who have seen it report it to be shoddily researched and written, rife with grammatical and factual errors.
In short, Hovind is a liar and a fraud. He uses his shoddy credentials to extract money and prestige from the willingly gullible. He has been attacked not only by scientists, but religious scholars and people of his own faith who take issue with his interpretation of scripture. To pay Hovind credence is to believe that armies of scholars around the world in every last field of study have, for the past century or more, colluded to cover up embarrassing and inconvenient "truths" for no better reason than to attack Christianity, without even one credible person coming forward with proof.
Your "wealth of information" could effectively fertilize every farm in Texas.
I have taken the time to listen to a few of his speeches on YouTube. They are absolute garbage, barely more than gibberish. It's neither wealth nor information.
At least Darwin didn't fake any degrees.
Darwin did more than dream; he went on a five year trip on the ship HSM Beagle to do research and chart the coasts of, well, the whole southern hemisphere.
If Hovind has ever published a fact, it was just by accident. He's a skilled crook and con-man, and he has apparently fooled you good and proper. The only lies that have been exposed in his vicinity are his own.
Oh, but I spent a lot of time listening to Kent Hovind, his entire lecture series was on Youtube years ago and I spent much time listening to his concepts and some of the debates.
One thing that becomes apparent after viewing him so much is the things he repeats over and over after being corrected. Then there's the Ice-canopy bullshit that puts his fan-base of believers at the very top of the wackadoo fundie list.
Tribtime, do yourself a favor and watch the rebuttle vids, Hovind is a huge liar and the sooner you understand that and what a fact is the better off we'll all become.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
