religionlulz

This is Patriot Bible University, a non-accredited correspondence college where Kent Hovind obtained his master's degree and doctorate.

Despite the usual practice of publishing dissertations, neither Hovind or the "university" would release his dissertation for public consumption.  That seems unfair as it's likely to be extremely lulzy.

However, one copy was kept on file at the National Center for Science Education and I'm not saying that someone there wanted to share some lulz or anything, but it's on WikiLeaks.

Hovind doesn't disappoint.  I've only read the first 15 pages, but there's no shortage of lulz.  I'd put a fair wedge of money on it being choc-full of lies for the baby jebus too.  I scrolled down and stopped at random and found this gem on page 42:-


I was aware that these guys love to jump up and down about Haeckel, but this is the first time I've heard it claimed that his discredited hypothesis was used to justify abortion.  In the next page Hovind goes on to claim that...

Probably more than any other man, Haeckel is responsible for the influence on a young man who was to come later and radically change the world, Adolf Hitler.  In reading Haeckel's  ideas and experiments, Hitler decided that the strongest race was the one that was to survive. His imperialism led to his belief that the Germans were to take over the world. Much harm as (sic) come to the world by this man, Ernest Heckel.

I know, reads like a 12 year old wrote it.  The dude's clearly a fucking lunatic.  He's scheduled to be released from prison in 2015.
