Not Even Demons Flying UFOs Will Help Dr. Dino Hovind Now

Our United States of America is an amazing country with a constitution that guarantees its citizens the freedom of religion. More specifically, the First Amendment both prohibits legislation favoring a religion or barring said religion.?In other words, chose your poison ? but let’s keep it separate from the law.

But Kent Hovind disagrees. He’s a YEC ? ?Young Earth Creationist.?

In case you missed the memo on how their ?astonishing evidence? proves Science to be completely misguided, and shows the Earth was created by ?God? and is about 7,500 ? 10,000 years old, see the video below. (Note: If your keyboard is not waterproof, it is strongly suggested you don’t drink anything while watching it.)

Hovind?is the quintessential YEC; after graduating from high school in 1971, he dedicated his life to academia, amassing no less than four degrees in Christian Education and Christian Ministry. Again, in case you never heard of such degrees, all of his credentials come from completely non-accredited and absolutely unrecognized institutions. One of them is?Patriot University,?from which he obtained a Ph.D. with this?dissertation, recently published by Wikileaks. The read would be amusing if it weren’t terrifying.

After several years of speaking at engagements, growing a fan base, and launching a full line of creationist products, Hovind started the?Dinosaur Adventure Land?theme park in Pensacola, Florida with the purpose of absolutely disproving evolution and disseminating the?Hovind Theory.

Together with the notion of reading Genesis literally and promoting a literal interpretation of the bible, Hovind also believed in creating several companies, such as Creation Science Evangelism (CSE), DrDino.com, and CreationToday.org. He also skipped out on paying taxes on at least 10 real estate properties, as well as earnings of an average of $2 million dollars a year from 1998 until 2006 when he was finally convicted of 58 federal counts ? 12 tax offenses, one obstruction of federal investigation, and 45 structuring cash transactions.

Now, almost at the end of his?10-year sentence in a Santa Rosa County prison, anti-LGBT Pastor James David Manning is demanding his release, claiming Hovind has been persecuted due to his Christian beliefs. Starting at 49 minutes, this?video?features Pastor Manning’s observations and arguments for his innocence claiming he dodged taxes ?out of principle.?

Is Hovind poised to become the latest Sovereign-Citizen Tax-Evading Christian Hero along with Cliven Bundy? Not so fast.

Even though Kent Hovind is free to go around fooling people into believing small dinosaurs still exist, dinosaur fossils shown in Scientific videos are created by Chinese factory workers, UFOs do exist and are piloted by demons, and pharmaceutical companies have had the cure for cancer for years but don’t want the population to have it ? he is not free to try to cheat the IRS.

You’d think he’d learn his lesson the first time around? He did it again.

After trying every single gimmick and maneuver one could imagine, from trying to renounce American citizenship to claiming “all (his) possessions belonged to God,” he now stands trial on Feb. 9, accused of filing liens against properties that had already been seized from him after he was?found guilty?last time.

His son Eric has maintained?Hovind’s blog for years and notes in a recent entry that he hopes ?that the government would be reasonable and show leniency to my father? because his dad ?is not a threat to society.?

I beg to differ. With Ron Paul’s supporters insisting these are??frivolous charges,??World Net Daily propagandizing his??persecution,??and?Pastor Wiley Drake preaching?his support, the last thing we need is another anti-science martyr to inspire others to become outlaws in the name of faith.
