Warning. Do not read at work!!
Knee slapping material.
I got twenty-five pages into the thing (in a very few minutes) before I had to quit because I simply cannot give myself away by laughing out loud at work.
Every paragraph or so I would mentally remind myself that I was reading a doctoral thesis, and then I'd have to click over to a work tab so I could contain the guffaws.
In what field would this paper be a 'contribution to knowledge'? Now I'm laughing again!!!
Uh-oh. My boss is calling me into the office...

I would say here something that was heard from an ecclesiastic of the most eminent degree; ‘That the intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how the heaven goes.’ Galileo Galilei 1615.

Depends on the high school.
Perhaps, yes. But this is supposed to be a Doctoral Thesis. Hovind's paper would be mud thrown on the reputation of any school that awarded a degree based on such tripe. Of course, throwing mud on a pigsty wouldn't even be noticeable event.

Patriot Bible University (PBU), formerly known as Patriot University, is an unaccredited Independent Baptist correspondence school located in Del Norte, Colorado [2] which issues religious degrees only.[3] According to the State of Colorado, Patriot's "degrees or diplomas have no state recognition".[4] PBU is not accredited by any agency recognized by the Department of Education.[5] It has been called a diploma mill, lacking sufficient academic standards to award degrees.

Re: on Indulgences
Aren't you ignoring the fact that the so called value given is relief from acts that the church has no power to impose. Your church cannot accept money for not
beating you or for not stoning you.

I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.
