No, he is not wrong. And neither was Dr. Kent Hovind wrong which was proven when he defeated the evolution promoters at university after university. Perhaps that is why the Govt. trumped up charges against him and put him in prison for the past 99 months and counting - for depositing 9600 dollars into his own bank account. Utterly ridiculous. You people cannot debate the facts and win so you put those who present them best behind bars. What weakness!
Kent E. Hovind (born January 15, 1953) is an American
Young Earth creationist and
conspiracy theorist. Hovind has spoken on
creation science, aiming to convince listeners to reject
scientific theories of
evolution,
geophysics, and
cosmology in favor of his interpretation of the
Genesis creation narrative from the
Bible. Hovind's views are contradicted by scientific evidence and some of his ideas have also been criticized by fellow Young Earth creationist organizations such as
Answers in Genesis.
Hovind established
Creation Science Evangelism in 1989, and frequently spoke on Young Earth creationism in private schools, churches, debates, and on radio and television broadcasts. Since January 2007, Hovind has been serving a ten-year prison sentence after being convicted in federal court of 58 counts, including 12 tax offenses, one count of obstructing federal agents, and 45 counts of
structuring cash transactions. In a separate federal court case in early 2015, Hovind was found guilty of
contempt of court.
Education
Patriot University
In 1971, he graduated from
East Peoria Community High School in
East Peoria, Illinois, and later received 4 degrees, all from
unaccredited institutions. From 1972 to 1974, Hovind attended the
Midwestern Baptist College and received a
Bachelor of Religious Education.
[1] In 1988 and 1991 respectively, Hovind received a master's degree and doctorate in Christian Education through
correspondence from the
Patriot University in
Colorado Springs, Colorado.
[notes 1][7] Having a website called "Dr. Dino" has provoked some academics to look closely at how Hovind presents his education and credentials.
Barbara Forrest, a professor of philosophy, expert on the history of creationism and activist in the
creation-evolution controversy, wrote that Hovind's lack of academic training makes it impossible to engage him on a professional level.

Patriot Bible University is a
diploma mill, having unreasonably low graduation requirements, lack of sufficient faculty or educational standards, and a suspicious tuition scheme.
[9][10] 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 $37 per credit.
[11][12]
Karen Bartelt, an organic chemistry professor who debated Hovind,
[8] stated that his doctoral dissertation is evidence of the poor requirements at Patriot and that Hovind lacks knowledge of basic science. She noted that Hovind's dissertation is incomplete,
[notes 2] of low academic quality, with poor writing, poor spelling, and poor grammatical style. Bartelt asserts that pages are repeated, references are absent, and it is not an original work with original ideas.
[13]
In 2010, Patriot responded to
Wikileaks' claim to have revealed Hovind's dissertation, writing that the Wikileaks file was not the "finished" product, but that they would not release the full dissertation,
[14] which is unusual among academic institutions. As a general rule, doctoral dissertations are published by the associated university and made available to the public, so that other students conducting research may reference them.

Hovid is a science illiterate and clown
