[Replying to 'Hovind is not a doctor']And were did Darwin receive his formal degreed training in science? Med school dropout, unpaid naturalists, degree in religion. Hmm had panic attacks... yep sounds like sort of a lune to me.

Even if Hovind and Darwin are tied regarding education (keeping in mind at least that Darwin's degree came from a real University), consider the following.
Darwin's research resulted in major advances in understanding not only evolution (earth-shattering), but also animal husbandry, soil ecology, plant hormone function, pollination biology, and barnacle systematics.
On the other hand, Kent Hovind is a moron.
Darwin actually studied Medicine at the University of Edinburgh and Theology at Cambridge University. During both university periods, he distinguished homself by presenting several well-researched papers, and he finally passed out of Cambridge University 10th in his class of 178.
Hovind obtained his questionable 'degree' from a non-accredited institution, by correspondence, and has never actually provided his doctoral thesis for peer review.
I know which one I would respect,,, and it ain't Hovind.
This is where Hovind went to school:

Can you guess which one is better?
Right, so people who have panic attacks are 'lunes'? I think people who think that a God caused himself to be born to a human woman, so that he could die, but not die, to allow himself to forgive sins that he made up and had the power to forgive all along, are much crazier.
"Med school dropout, unpaid naturalists, degree in religion. Hmm had panic attacks... yep sounds like sort of a lune to me."
Still more reliable information than Hovind
“[Replying to 'Hovind is not a doctor']And were did Darwin receive his formal degreed training in science?”
Does anyone claim he did, including Darwin?
Does anyone try to convince you of evolution based on Darwin Went To Science School?
Attacking Darwin is just a very weak version of whataboutism.
“Med school dropout, unpaid naturalists, degree in religion. Hmm had panic attacks... yep sounds like sort of a lune to me.”
First, you mean ‘loon.’
And yes, an ad hominem attack works perfectly to defend the veracity of Hovind’s claims to be an authority.
But Darwin’s observations stand up to scrutiny. They’ve been tested and verified.
Unlike Hovind’s claims, which just highlight his ignorance.
Confused?
