Inside the Mind of a Creationist:
A Critical Analysis of Kent Hovind's “Doctoral Dissertation”
by Nathan Dickey*
1. Meet Kent Hovind
Kent Hovind is a young-earth creationist who subscribes to a number of some of the strangest ideas to be found in the Creationist movement. Other creationist organizations and think tanks such as Answers in Genesis are aware of this, and have even made attempts to disassociate themselves from Hovind and others like him just to maintain credibility for the movement.Recently, Answers in Genesis posted a list of 29 creationist arguments on their website that they strongly encourage creationists to disc
ard forthwith. As they put it, “
Even one instance of using a faulty argument can lead someone to write off creationism as pseudoscientific and dismiss creationists as shoddy researchers
—or charlatans!”

Kent Hovind perfectly fits their criterion of a promoter of pseudoscience and a shoddy researcher, for he uses all of the arguments listed there.
“Dr. Dino”
(Kent Hovind's nickname) used to own and operate a theme park called
“Dinosaur Adventure Land”
in Pensacola, Florida, before it was seized by the government to payfor the back taxes owed to them. According to Ed Brayton, a science journalist who writes for
Science Blogs
, this theme park was basically nothing more than Kent Hovind's backyard with a bunch of cardboard cutouts.

This turned out to be a surprising observation for people who were aware that this theme park existed but had not visited personally or researched it. The reason many uninformed people seemed to picture a mini Disneyland in relation to this theme park may be owing to the fact that Hovind was charged in 2006 with 45 felony counts of tax evasion and13 other related charges. The impression exuded is of a man living in a mansion and drawing in an inordinate amount of money. To get an idea of the utter lack of quality this theme park suffered, consider that back in Hovind's heyday, the page on his website that provided information on the Dinosaur Adventure Land schedule indicated that on certain days the park closed . ..... Clear enough I'd say what a con man .
