That quote makes everything make sense if Mr. Hovind's birthday is February 29.

Hovind says:
If Evolution is true, there is no Creator, so laws come from mans opinion. That is called a democracy, which is a terrible form of government. Democracies always degenerate into dictatorships. In America, it is sad to say, has become a democracy.


:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

That is possibly the most ironic statement of all time.

I'm still shaking my head about a Christian website having a "Baloney Detector!"

My, my, what arrogance in ignorance.

Hovind:
Quote:
Hey, did you know the word 'universe' comes from two Latin words? Uni means single and verse means a spoken sentence.
Kent Hovind makes baby jeebus cry.

Another good Hovind one from the same site:
Quote:
Therefore, there may not be any other stars in the solar system that have planets around them.

Weeeellll.... You could say that, but only so long as you remember that 3.9 million years ago takes you all the way back to Australopithecus afarensis, which isn't usually considered a human. It depends on your definition of 'human' of course, but its highly unlikely that we could ever have bred with them.

Edit: oh wait, I see you are including this comment as a "dumb thing". If it actually says what you report it as saying, then yes, I'd have to agree that it's a bit of a dumb thing to put in a textbook.

- Hovind
In case anyone was curious...

Universe - Etymology: Latin universum, from neuter of universus entire, whole, from uni- + versus turned toward, from past participle of vertere to turn.
