Shouldn't that be .edu?

(Well, you know what I mean)

Their catalog has this compelling endorsement from Dr. Dino himself:

Quote:

"It was the study for my dissertation that opened so many doors of opportunity for me to preach. Thank you for the work you do and the program you offer. Had it not been for Patriot University, I would have had no way to even consider a degree. Plus, God has used you to motivate me in a much needed field of study that has been a great help to thousands of God's children as I have preached around the country."
Kent Hovind, Creation Science Evangelism, Florida

"Had it not been for Patriot University, I would have had no way to even consider a degree."

Now, I wonder why that is. Patriot University is the only seat of - ahem - higher learning within 500 miles of him, is that what he's saying?

The .edu designator is reserved for institutes of learning.

Amusing side-note, though isn't it?

You'd have thought that they'd have at least tried for a .org domain.

(Another amusing side-note. I work as tech support for an ISP. Whenever I get one of the local churches, I'm always saying their domain names with a com instead of an org out of genuine force of habit... doesn't happen with anything else)

As to the hovind quote... I bet it was his only chance.

From the course catalog for Patriot University, the alma matter of beloved creationist Kent Hovind.

Curiously, I found the following statements concerning tuition:

"Is it affordable? How about this? You may set your own rate! That's correct! For undergraduate students which agree to take at least ten courses per week (six for graduate students)--tuition can be a monthly freewill offering. We suggest your tuition investment should be about $35-$55 per month to cover our costs. However, if you cannot afford that much every month the minimum requirement is just $25 for undergraduates and $35 for graduate students"

"You set your own rate"
"tuition can be a . . .freewill offering"

BUT We really Don't Mean It (we just say this to lure you in) because the truth is, "the minimum requirement is $25 for undergraduates and $35 for graduate students"

WE know, we know, but this is the last time we will lie to you. Promise!

I should buy doctorates for my young children. Then I can rightfully claim that they are as educated as Dr. Dino.

So that's where Hovind learned that tax-evasion scam!

(I wonder if that's a graduate or undergrad course.)
