Kent Hovind:
"In 1988 and 1991 respectively, Hovind was awarded a master's degree and doctorate in Christian Education through correspondence from the non-accredited Patriot University in Colorado Springs, Colorado"
"Other critics of Hovind have pointed out that Patriot Bible University is a diploma mill, as it has unreasonably low graduation requirements, lack of sufficient faculty or educational standards, and a suspicious tuition scheme.[11][12] The school's current policies allow students to attain bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and Doctor of Ministry degrees in months, rather than years, for as little as $25 per month.[13]
Bartelt has stated that Hovind's doctoral dissertation is evidence of the poor requirements at Patriot and that Hovind lacks knowledge of basic science.[9]
In 2013, Hovind self-published a new dissertation while in prison for a Doctor of Ministry degree from Patriot Bible University, which according to Hovind, was presented in "simple 4th grade style."[16] It is titled What on Earth is About to Happen… For Heaven's Sake?: A Dissertation on End Times According to the Bible and claims that the second coming will happen in 2028.[17]"
Jotenkin näistä seuraavista tulee mieleen, mistä pohjimmiltaan voi olla kyse:
"In 1996 Hovind filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition to avoid paying federal income taxes, claiming he was not a citizen of the United States and that he did not earn income.[151] Hovind was found to have lied about his possessions and income.[152] "
"In 2001, Hovind started Dinosaur Adventure Land, a young Earth creationist theme park located behind Hovind's home in Pensacola, Florida."
"According to the IRS, Hovind reportedly earned $50,000 a year through speaking engagements and, in 2002 alone, CSE sold more than $1.8 million in merchandise.[46] Also, Hovind's theme park and merchandise sales earned more than US$5 million from 1999 to March 2004.[47] On average, they say, Hovind "has made deposits to bank accounts well in excess of $1 million per year."[48] Eventually that grew to about $2 million a year."
"On June 3, 2004, the IRS filed notices of Federal tax liens of $504,957.24 against Hovind and his son and their businesses due to previous legal maneuverings to evade taxation by moving property between himself, his son, and other legal entities.[159]"
"Evidence produced at the trial revealed that Jo Hovind had requested financial assistance from Baptist Healthcare claiming that the Hovinds had no income."[167]"
"Then in January 2007, Kent Hovind was sentenced to ten years in prison following his 58 felony convictions and Eric Hovind announced that he would run Creation Science Evangelism due to his father's incarceration.[19] After finishing high school at Pensacola Christian Academy in 1996,[20] Eric Hovind attended Jackson Hole Bible College[21] a one-year[22] non-accredited institution,[23][24] despite Kent Hovind's objections to Jackson Hole's Gap creationism and Day-age creationism teaching.[25] In November 2007, Eric Hovind, on behalf of God Quest Inc., filed to do business under the trade name Creation Science Evangelism with Florida.[26] Just months earlier, in July 2007 God Quest Inc. was incorporated by Eric Hovind (listed as president), Scott Porter (listed as treasurer), Bill Nadolny, and Stephen Lawwell.[27] Additionally, in 2010 Eric Hovind and Chad Hovind registered Godonomics LLC in the State of Florida.[28]"
