What I just read elsewhere is that he does have a doctorate. I have not seen anything on this tax cheat business. Saying he's a liar could be quite subjective and a bias expressed to keep people from listening to him rather than dealing specifically with what he says - as could all these charges. The least offensive one is his belief that men and dinosaurs co-existed. I believe a case can be made for that. And I can't see ruling it out given the quality of the evolution "theory" on the matter.
So all things being what they are, I would really like proof of the tax cheat thing, and the liar thing as goes his personal reputation. I'm not sure how any of this reflects on whether what he says in his lectures is true or not as I noted to another. This seems to largely be an attack on the man in substitute for a failure to be able to deal with what he says. If it were possible to directly face down what he says, the rest is generally unnecessary - no?
So what if dinosaurs and humans did coexist? (not that I believe they did.) That does absolutely nothing to support or refute the theory of evolution any more than presenting proof that dogs and man coexist. Evolution does not predict which species will exist at any given time. It certainly does not rely on humans and dinosaurs never having coexisted.
re: "Dr" Dino Kent Hovind...
1) Dinosaurs and man did not coexist. The evidence for this is so vast, so encompassing, and so clear that to build one's career upon this issue is mind boggling.
2) His supposed PhD is from Patriot University. There is no such thing. It was a diploma mill from some guy's garage. He has no CV, did no work for it. It's fake, it's a lie. It's not real. This is indefensible. And widely documented on the internet.
3) A simple google search, something you must be firewalled against, provided this as the first hit. It seems to be written by a creationist (though I'm not sure) and one who was taken in by Hovind's charisma.

Let me know if you actually read it... maybe I need to post it's full text here.
Summary: Kent Hovind is neither a PhD and he is a liar and a tax cheat.
