I was going to ask if the Federal Bureau of Prisons had been
notified of Dr. Dino's travel plans, but apparently these events
will feature one *Eric* Hovind, Kent's son, who is running CSE
and, apparently, appropriating the "Dr. Dino" _nom de con game_
during his father's stay in government housing. According to one
of his YouTube promos, he's available to speak at YOUR church if
you'd like the stumbling block of evolution removed by his dad's
30 years of research. I'm not sure what his fees are, though.
I'm curious. What was _his_ thesis on?
I'm curious also. What was _his_ Alma Mater? Patriot University?
A moment's googling turned up the following:

According tohttp://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=77436,
Eric attended Jackson Hole Bible College.

http://www.jhbc.edu/

Ken Ham is listed among their faculty members, none of whom actually
appear to reside in the state in which JHBC actually is found
(Wyoming). It is the very definition of a diploma mill: you can't
find any actual list of courses offered at the "college", which
offerss a "one-year, in depth study of the scriptures with a creation
emphasis". Additionally, "we are dedicated in providing our students
with a quality program combining outdoor recreational activities and
solid Biblical teaching".

Well, at least the students will get some fresh air.
"We are dedicated in providing our students with a quality program
combining outdoor recreational activities and solid Biblical
teaching."

So it's a Christian day care?
No. Our children attended Christian day care.

They teach telling the truth and playing well with others.

Compare and contrast with Jackson Hole Bible College.
I mean no offense to you or your religion, but how can you discern between the Christian day care services that teach telling the truth and playing well with others, and those that teach that the world is only 6,000 years old, scientists are evil liars, and Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to church?

One's a Christian day care service, and the other's a vile nest of heretical anti-Christian nonsense which must be wiped out with fire and the sword.

That's as may be, though I think "fire and the sword" is a bit extreme-- I'm not religious, but I'd be the last to suppress any other person's right to express his religious views. But both organizations described above would consider themselves "Christian Day Care" and advertise themselves as such. And it's not inconceivable that each would sincerely consider itself Christian and the other a false-Christian Trojan horse.

How can a concerned parent know for sure to which kind of "Christian Day Care" she's about to send her child, especially since creationists often aren't above telling lies to push their message?
