Kent Hovind's debates, can someone help?

You understand incorrectly. The bioluminescent reactions I know of (and I did my proposition oral exam on them in grad school) don't generate noticeable heat. They just make visible light.
And the names, as you likely know, do come from exactly the same place as "lucifer" - "light bearer."

Back near the OP - it's possible that Kent may be off the lecture circuit for a while. He seems to have forgotton to inform the taxman about his $1,000,000+ income in several of the last seven years.http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/...704/Local/ST006.shtml
is an article from his local paper about it - his lawyer says: Yeah. I bet that'd work for me, too - "The First Church of the Tax-Dodging Buzzard."

Read what I wrote, buz! "seems to have...."
I fully realize that he hasn't been convicted of anything. I'll wait and see.
I understand that gross isn't the same as net, too - but I would imagine that you actually file a return each year, don't you, buz? A church is tax-exempt, but the minister isn't - my dad filed a return each and every year. That's the law in this country.[This message has been edited by Coragyps, 04-18-2004]

You're probably right there, buz. How would any work have gotten done on the farm if they had vanished?
