Why do you hate Kent Hovind so much?
Stop attacking him for what college he went to (ad hominem)... just tell me, what's wrong with him?
I don't hate him, I feel sorry for him. He is a LIAR - that or monumentally incompetent. I saw him 'debate' Bill Moore at Wayne State University about 5 years ago. Hovind had sent Moore a copy of one of his taped 'debates' so that Moore would 'know what he was up against.' In the taped debate, Hovind used his infamous 'moon rocks' schtick, and Moore went to WSU's library, found all of the relevant articles that Hovind claimed to have used, and, during their debate, demonstrated that Hovind had basically made the whole thing up.
Hovind's response? Did he try to defend himself? Of course not. He says "So you're calling me a liar? well, I KNOW the truth!", lofting his bible into the air, much to the delight of the largely bussed-in crowd (there were church busses in the parking lot from as far away as Toledo!).
He didn't even try to defend his claims.
Liar.
That or monumewntally incompetent.
Thats why I feel sorry for him. He is so deluded that he cannot even see that he is a charlatan.
And what is worse - those who think he knows what he is talking about are even more in the dark.
