Science should have realized that combining the DNA
of Richie and Lurch could only result in pure evil!
Pensacola News Journal – July 14, 2006:
A Pensacola evangelist who owns the defunct Dinosaur Adventure Land in Pensacola was arrested Thursday on 58 federal charges, including failing to pay $473,818 in employee-related taxes and making threats against investigators.
Of the 58 charges, 44 were filed against Kent Hovind and his wife, Jo, for evading bank reporting requirements as they withdrew $430,500 from AmSouth Bank between July 20, 2001, and Aug. 9, 2002.
Hovind, an avowed creationist, has widely publicized his “standing offer” to pay $250,000 to anyone who can provide scientific evidence of evolution.
His disbelief in evolution is understandable, considering his complete lack of understanding of the topic!
“No one has ever observed a dog produce a non-dog,” Hovind once wrote in reply to a New York Times article.
A “religious minister” tried this in Indianapolis a number of years ago. The greedy SOB lost everything. “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s…”
Summary HERE.
Personally I think references to Caesar are quite apt.
“see offspring and parents and siblings who are totally different from each other”
Might want to check how many were born exactly nine months after the company Christmas party, the long business trip daddy took, and so on.
@1 Pensacola has a Christian college that’s too fundie even for me (and the regulars on this blog can attest I’m quite right-wing) – my main beef with them is their irrational focus on the Authorized Bible as the only one they’ll use @2, Nice to see another New Brunswicker Nik, though I personally think that the Lord government has it right on abortion @4, thank you Jason, any supposed Christian who wants to get out of paying taxes should read that passage … honestly, the things people justify in the name of religion (suicide bombing, for instance) – every religion has its share of wackjobs, please don’t judge the rest of us by those standards.
@Bruce IV:
If you mean right by making it as difficult as possible, and possibly contravening the Canada Health Act, and the Supreme Court of Canada’s rulings. I have nothing for disdain for the vast majority of decisions Bernard Lord has made in my name as a New Brunswicker (the alternative is little better though). But let’s not let this boil down to an abortion debate.
At the least we can agree that these religious nutcases that refuse taxes for moral reasons are wrong. I can think of many things our government does with my tax dollars that I find morally offensive. I still pay taxes though.
