Following Kent's imprisonment, his son <a href="/wiki/Eric_Hovind" title="Eric Hovind">Eric Hovind</a> — who, although also a creationist, is notably more lucid and grounded in reality — took control of the businesses and remade them into God Quest Inc.

Despite having no <a href="/wiki/Scientific" class="mw-redirect" title="Scientific">scientific</a> <a href="/wiki/Credential" class="mw-redirect" title="Credential">credentials</a> or even an accredited degree, he presents himself as someone who understands the science of <a href="/wiki/Evolution" title="Evolution">evolution</a> better than people with advanced science degrees<a href="#cite_note-29">[26]</a> who research in labs and publish <a href="/wiki/Peer-review" class="mw-redirect" title="Peer-review">peer-reviewed</a> papers. During his presentations, he sounds like an auctioneer or a used <a href="/wiki/Car" class="mw-redirect" title="Car">car</a> salesman when he is attempting to make a point by getting his audience to buy a video or book from him. Many of his slideshows read like a top 10 list of <a href="/wiki/PRATT" class="mw-redirect" title="PRATT">commonly seen (and refuted) "evidences" for creationism</a> that contain little to no actual data or proof. These arguments are interjected with painfully unfunny "jokes" and <a href="/wiki/Anecdote" class="mw-redirect" title="Anecdote">anecdotes</a>, which are topped off with a healthy serving of <a href="/wiki/Quote_mining" title="Quote mining">mined quotes</a>. And like any good creationist, he is not above (in fact seeming to enjoy) spreading the false claim that <a href="/wiki/Hitler_and_evolution" title="Hitler and evolution">Darwin caused the Holocaust</a>. Many of Hovind's claims can be easily refuted by merely reading Hovind's alleged references or doing basic math. For example, in <a href="/wiki/Thunderf00t" title="Thunderf00t">Thunderf00t</a>'s Why Do People Laugh at Creationists? series, Hovind is quoted as saying: <table style="margin: auto; border-collapse:collapse; border-style:none; background-color:transparent;" class="cquote"> <tbody><tr> <td><div style="padding:4px 50px;position:relative;">“”One drop of water will cover the world if you spread it real thin.</div> </td></tr> <tr> <td style="padding:4px 10px 8px;font-size:smaller;line-height:1.6em;text-align:right;"><cite style="font-style:normal;position:relative;z-index:2">—Kent Hovind<a href="#cite_note-30">[27]</a></cite> </td></tr></tbody></table> Hovind's statement is off by a factor of one trillion. The surface area of the Earth is about 500,000,000 km2 (or 5x1012 m2, which is 5x1032 angstroms squared), and the size of a <a href="/wiki/Water" title="Water">water</a> <a href="/wiki/Molecule" title="Molecule">molecule</a> ("the smallest identifiable unit into which a pure substance can be divided<a href="#cite_note-31">[28]</a>") is about 10 angstroms.<a href="#cite_note-32">[29]</a> To find out how much water you would need to coat the world in a monolayer of water, you divide the surface of the world by the water molecule; the result is that you would need a minimum of 150,000 tons of water. This is approximately 1,000,000,000,000 times Hovind's claim.<a href="#cite_note-33">[note 4]</a> Besides his poor <a href="/wiki/Math" class="mw-redirect" title="Math">math</a> skills, Hovind doesn't fare much better in <a href="/wiki/Biology" title="Biology">biology</a> or being honest about what scientific papers say. Hovind seeks to "debunk" <a href="/wiki/Carbon_dating" title="Carbon dating">carbon dating</a> by citing <a href="/wiki/Scientific_literature" class="mw-redirect" title="Scientific literature">scientific literature</a>, but what he actually does is <a href="/wiki/Quote_mining" title="Quote mining">mine quotes</a>, take material out of context, even inventing alleged quotes out of whole cloth. In Seminar 7: Questions and Answers, he speaks about a scientific paper, displaying this alleged quote on a slide: <table style="margin: auto; border-collapse:collapse; border-style:none; background-color:transparent;" class="cquote"> <tbody><tr> <td><div style="padding:4px 50px;position:relative;">“”One part of Dima [a baby frozen mammoth] was 40,000, another part was 26,000 and the ‘wood immediately around the carcass’ was 9-10,000.</div> </td></tr> <tr> <td style="padding:4px 10px 8px;font-size:smaller;line-height:1.6em;text-align:right;"><cite style="font-style:normal;position:relative;z-index:2">—Slide used and discussed by Kent Hovind<a href="#cite_note-34">[30]</a></cite> </td></tr></tbody></table> In less than ten seconds, Hovind presents the quote and reference as evidence that radiometric dating doesn't work before quickly skipping to his next slide. If you check the claim, you will find that the quote does not actually exist, plus the article cited does not refer to the stated species, date or even the bloody continent.<a href="#cite_note-35">[31]</a> Sadly, many creationists take Hovind at his word and simply recycle his claims without checking the references.<a href="#cite_note-36">[32]</a> However, there are some creationists who do investigate Hovind's claims, concluding that Hovind's statements do not stand up to scrutiny.

</td></tr></tbody></table> In July 2006, Hovind was arrested and charged with 58 tax-related counts, including twelve counts of willful failure to withhold federal income taxes and FICA taxes from his employees' wages, forty-five counts of structuring transactions to evade reporting requirements, and one count of corruptly endeavoring to obstruct and impede the administration of the internal revenue laws.<a href="#cite_note-95">[84]</a> At his first court appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Miles Davis, Hovind said "I still don’t understand what I'm being charged for and who is charging me" despite having access to both his indictment — listing all the charges — and an attorney to explain them to him.<a href="#cite_note-96">[85]</a> The government accused Hovind of breaking several laws, including intentionally and falsely misstating the conditions of employment for various employees to avoid paying the withholding tax of employees for his own financial benefit. In addition, the Pensacola News Journal reported the prosecution charged him with impeding an IRS investigation by "filing a frivolous lawsuit against the agency demanding damages for criminal trespass," "filing an injunction against an IRS special agent," "filing false complaints against the IRS for false arrest, excessive use of force and theft," and "making threats against investigators and those cooperating with the investigation."<a href="#cite_note-97">[86]</a> The Pensacola News Journal also noted, "On the day the IRS searched the Hovind home, Kent Hovind withdrew $70,000 from the Creation Science Evangelism account. Half in a check; the other in cash."<a href="#cite_note-98">[87]</a> <a href="/wiki/WorldNetDaily" class="mw-redirect" title="WorldNetDaily">WorldNetDaily</a>, which is sympathetic to Hovind, reported that he "was accused of tax fraud because he called his employees missionaries and paid them in cash," and later was "convicted on those counts."<a href="#cite_note-99">[88]</a><a href="#cite_note-100">[89]</a> Hovind did not offer a defense at trial to these charges.<a href="#cite_note-101">[90]</a> Hovind's organization was not tax-exempt, and its revenue "appeared to constitute income to petitioner personally."<a href="#cite_note-102">[91]</a> Employees testified that they did not consider it a church<a href="#cite_note-103">[92]</a>, and the prosecution explained that even if it were a church, churches are required to pay payroll taxes.<a href="#cite_note-104">[93]</a> Hovind was also found to have intentionally made multiple withdrawals of around $9,500 to avoid the scrutiny that comes with withdrawing at least $10,000 from the bank, which accounted for 45 of the charges. Hovind was jailed as a flight risk while awaiting sentencing. In early 2007, he was sentenced to a 10-year jail term and ordered to pay restitution, which by May 2013 was "$3.3 million in taxes and penalties".<a href="#cite_note-105">[94]</a> His wife was sentenced to one year and one day.<a href="#cite_note-106">[95]</a> Both have since filed several unsuccessful appeals.<a href="#cite_note-107">[96]</a> The Eleventh Court of Appeals' ruling is quite a nice summary of all the evidence against him. In discussing the evidence, it noted in December of 2008 that:<a href="#cite_note-108">[97]</a> <blockquote class="letter" style="width:auto; background:#f8f8ff; border:1px solid #C9C9CF;"> The government proved that Kent knew the tax laws required the collection and payment of withholding taxes, but he refused to comply. Employees of Evangelism Enterprises, peers, and legal counsel testified that Kent disputed the authority of the Internal Revenue Service based on the separation of the church and state, debated the interpretation and application of the withholding requirements, and intentionally characterized Evangelism Enterprises as a "church" and his employees as "<a href="/wiki/Missionaries" class="mw-redirect" title="Missionaries">missionaries</a>" to avoid tax obligations. Kent had opined to attorney David Gibbs that he was "smarter" than other church officials who had forfeited real property after they refused to collect or pay withholding taxes… The evidence established that Kent and Jo Hovind structured cash transactions with knowledge of, and the intent to avoid, reporting of those transactions by AmSouth Bank… Substantial evidence established that Kent obstructed investigation of his tax offenses. </blockquote> In January 2010, his final appeal was denied by the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States" title="Supreme Court of the United States">Supreme Court</a>, rejecting his petition.<a href="#cite_note-109">[98]</a> Despite the overwhelming evidence of Hovind's crimes, some evangelical supporters claim that he is being <a href="/wiki/Persecution_complex" title="Persecution complex">persecuted</a> as part of a government attack and want him set free, even creating various petitions.<a href="#cite_note-110">[99]</a><a href="#cite_note-111">[100]</a> The Pensacola News Journal, on the other hand, wrote: "Earth to 'Dr. Dino': Please pay your taxes and start facing reality," telling Hovind that "You got caught, so quit whining and take your punishment like a man."<a href="#cite_note-112">[101]</a> As of 2013, on Hovind's blog, he maintained his innocence "like scores of Bible characters".<a href="#cite_note-113">[102]</a> <h3>Little Red Riding Hovind and the Big Bad IRS[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Kent_Hovind&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Little Red Riding Hovind and the Big Bad IRS">edit</a>]</h3> <table style="margin: auto; border-collapse:collapse; border-style:none; background-color:transparent;" class="cquote"> <tbody><tr> <td><div style="padding:4px 50px;position:relative;">“”I do not have a 501(c)3 corporation. <a href="/wiki/Tax_protester" title="Tax protester">I do not fill out income tax forms</a>.</div> </td></tr> <tr> <td style="padding:4px 10px 8px;font-size:smaller;line-height:1.6em;text-align:right;"><cite style="font-style:normal;position:relative;z-index:2">—Kent Hovind<a href="#cite_note-114">[103]</a></cite> </td></tr></tbody></table> Kent Hovind earned millions — profiting additionally from tax dodging on every cent — with a judge noting that in 2003 alone, Hovind's operation earned a whopping $1,657,329 just in merchandise sales,<a href="#cite_note-115">[104]</a> later growing to about $2 million.<a href="#cite_note-116">[105]</a> Hovind and his wife have faced problems in United States Tax Court for not paying income tax.<a href="#cite_note-117">[106]</a> In July 2006, the Tax Court found that Hovind was deficient in paying his federal income taxes in tax years 1995–97 in the amount of $504,957.24.<a href="#cite_note-118">[107]</a> The judge ruled: "The organizational structure petitioner established for the above activities, including petitioner’s purported religious ministry and theme park, apparently was based on various questionable trust documents purchased from Glenn Stoll, a known promoter of tax avoidance schemes." Hovind appealed this ruling, but the court denied the appeal.<a href="#cite_note-119">[108]</a> In 2012 a Tax Court judge noted that Hovind's operation "sold books and videotapes promoting anti-government and tax-protester arguments," including Joe Sweet's “Good News for 1040 Filers” video, and the catalog description says that it “[e]xplains how income tax is voluntary for most people”.<a href="#cite_note-TC_MEMO_2012-281-120">[109]</a> The judge wrote that "Mr. Sweet has been permanently enjoined from '[o]rganizing, promoting, marketing, or selling the tax shelter, plan, or arrangement entitled ‘GOOD NEWS for FORM 1040 Filers'"<a href="#cite_note-TC_MEMO_2012-281-120">[109]</a> and the Justice Department called the injunction a "victory for IRS in battle against tax fraud promoters".<a href="#cite_note-121">[110]</a> In a detailed 58-page ruling, a judge of the United States Tax Court wrote the following about Hovind's wife:<a href="#cite_note-122">[111]</a> <blockquote class="letter" style="width:auto; background:#f8f8ff; border:1px solid #C9C9CF;"> Petitioner also contends that any fraudulent intent during the years at issue was attributable to Mr. Hovind. However, we find that it is more reasonable to infer from petitioner's course of conduct that her true intention was to conceal substantially all of her income and to take her chances that the fraud would not be discovered. Our finding is supported by the fact that she did not amend her returns until after respondent began a civil investigation in respect of her. Furthermore, the record shows that petitioner was an active participant in the operation of CSE and, along with Mr. Hovind, engaged in a course of conduct designed to conceal and mislead. </blockquote> Hovind repeatedly said that he opposes teaching <a href="/wiki/Evolution" title="Evolution">evolution</a> on the grounds that public education is <a href="/wiki/Irony" title="Irony">funded with his tax dollars</a>.<a href="#cite_note-123">[112]</a> Which was obviously false at the time. Also, in 2006, his Dinosaur Adventure Land, a theme park in his backyard,<a href="#cite_note-124">[113]</a> was largely shut down due to his refusal to secure a building permit. Hovind claimed that his "decision to build without permits from the county" is based on the Bible, questioning "Does the Escambia County, Florida civil government have jurisdiction over a Church of the Sovereign God of the universe?"<a href="#cite_note-125">[114]</a> During a hearing, Hovind was mocked by the local county commissioner with the response that "<a href="/wiki/Scripture" class="mw-redirect" title="Scripture">Scripture</a> also says 'Render unto <a href="/wiki/Augustus" title="Augustus">Caesar</a> what Caesar demands.' And right now, Caesar demands a building permit."<a href="#cite_note-126">[115]</a> Following the criminal trial, <a href="/wiki/Eric_Hovind" title="Eric Hovind">Eric Hovind</a> continued to operate the Dinosaur Adventure Land and Creation Science Evangelism, but renamed them the Creation Store and Creation Today, respectively. <h2>The prison years (2007 to 2015)[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Kent_Hovind&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: The prison years (2007 to 2015)">edit</a>]</h2> <h3>Phone calls, blogging, books, interviews, and YouTube[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Kent_Hovind&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Phone calls, blogging, books, interviews, and YouTube">edit</a>]</h3> Hovind was held in the local jail while awaiting sentencing. The Pensacola News Journal reported that "Although phones include warnings that conversations are recorded, he didn't mince words as he ran up eight hours of calls per week."<a href="#cite_note-127">[116]</a> The prosecution submitted some calls between Hovind, his wife Jo and son Eric, posted online by the Pensacola News Journal,<a href="#cite_note-128">[117]</a> to the court during sentencing where "Hovind accused the Internal Revenue Service, the judge, and the prosecutor of violating the law in prosecuting him, and referred to unspecified things he could do 'to make their lives miserable'."<a href="#cite_note-129">[118]</a> In early 2007, Hovind was sentenced to ten years and was transferred to Federal Prison Camp, Pensacola, a minimum-security prison in his hometown. Hovind began blogging while in prison via communication with family and supporters, which were posted on a website edited by Paul Abramson, a fellow creationist.<a href="#cite_note-130">[119]</a> Within a few months, Hovind got in "trouble" and was moved into solitary confinement<a href="#cite_note-131">[120]</a> at another prison, as Paul Abramson (then-editor of Kent Hovind's blog) explained:<a href="#cite_note-132">[121]</a> <blockquote class="letter" style="width:auto; background:#f8f8ff; border:1px solid #C9C9CF;"> Brother Hovind got in trouble with the chaplain in the federal prison where he was previously held. The chaplain actually tried to get Dr. Hovind in trouble on more than one occasion. And the chaplain told him to stop holding Bible studies. The chaplain called them 'unauthorized meetings.' Dr. Hovind was following the rules that no more than 5 men could meet together. He kept holding the Bible studies (only with 3-4 others at a time) and witnessing to his fellow inmates whenever he could. </blockquote> Hovind was moved to prisons around the country, being held in <a href="/wiki/Colorado" class="mw-redirect" title="Colorado">Colorado</a> and <a href="/wiki/New_Hampshire" class="mw-redirect" title="New Hampshire">New Hampshire</a>. Meanwhile, Hovind continued to blog from prison, writing <a href="/wiki/Delusions_of_grandeur" title="Delusions of grandeur">self-aggrandizing</a> "knee-mail" dialogues between himself and God. <a href="/wiki/Fundies_Say_the_Darndest_Things" title="Fundies Say the Darndest Things">Independent observers</a> noted that his writing had started to look rather unhinged as of December 2007. This tends to ignore the fact that he was already unhinged before he went to jail, believing as he does that the US government and the <a href="/wiki/New_World_Order" title="New World Order">New World Order</a> were behind such <a href="/wiki/Terrorist" class="mw-redirect" title="Terrorist">terrorist</a> attacks as the <a href="/wiki/Timothy_McVeigh" title="Timothy McVeigh">Oklahoma City bombing</a> and the <a href="/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories" class="mw-redirect" title="9/11 conspiracy theories">demolition of the World Trade Center</a>. Around 2012, the blog was retooled, and Hovind's writings, including wacky <a href="/wiki/Conspiracy" class="mw-redirect" title="Conspiracy">conspiracy</a> legal filings, appeared on a website named after 2 Peter 3 in the <a href="/wiki/New_Testament" title="New Testament">New Testament</a>, which describes how all those darned "scoffers" are going to get their comeuppance. Hovind became involved with Paul Hansen, whom the <a href="/wiki/WorldNetDaily" class="mw-redirect" title="WorldNetDaily">WorldNetDaily</a> described as "an attorney advising Hovind."<a href="#cite_note-133">[122]</a> In a letter to the US Attorney and Attorney General of Florida, Hansen described himself "as Kent Hovind counsel".<a href="#cite_note-134">[123]</a> According to the <a href="/wiki/Nebraska" class="mw-redirect" title="Nebraska">Nebraska</a> Supreme Court, Hansen is not a <a href="/wiki/Lawyer" class="mw-redirect" title="Lawyer">lawyer</a> and is, in fact, a self-proclaimed <a href="/wiki/Sovereign_citizen" title="Sovereign citizen">sovereign citizen</a>.<a href="#cite_note-135">[124]</a> In 2013, the court issued an injunction preventing Hansen from "engaging in the unauthorized practice of law in any manner, including but not limited to holding himself out to another as being entitled to practice law as defined by § 3-1001" after an investigation of Hansen's blogs and legal "kits".<a href="#cite_note-136">[125]</a> Hovind's blog tells his supporters to send donations to Hansen and calls him "a law-educated layman".<a href="#cite_note-137">[126]</a> Hansen previously made news for taking money from a disabled person and was sentenced to jail for refusing to address 14 housing code violations as well as "one count of giving false information, one count of resisting arrest and two counts of obstructing the administration of the law."<a href="#cite_note-138">[127]</a> Hansen doesn't pay taxes,<a href="#cite_note-Revenue-139">[128]</a><a href="#cite_note-140">[129]</a><a href="#cite_note-141">[130]</a><a href="#cite_note-142">[131]</a> and despite acknowledging being a "native-born of the Land of Nebraska" and living in Omaha, "believes that neither the city nor Douglas County holds sway over him"<a href="#cite_note-143">[132]</a> and "does not believe the laws of the United States of America apply to him."<a href="#cite_note-144">[133]</a> Hansen sells "briefs" on his website to people not interested in getting a driver's license, license plate, obeying public health codes or being honorable citizens by paying taxes for public roads, prisons or fire departments.<a href="#cite_note-145">[134]</a> But anyone interested in such advice should be aware that Hansen has a warrant for his arrest by the Omaha Police Department for failing to appear in court,<a href="#cite_note-146">[135]</a> tax liens for more than $30,000<a href="#cite_note-Revenue-139">[128]</a> and by his own count has been arrested about 15 times.<a href="#cite_note-147">[136]</a> A typical example of Hansen's work for Hovind is a 2011 letter to the Florida Attorney General that tells the government Hovind is a "free inhabitant" per the <a href="/wiki/Articles_of_Confederation" title="Articles of Confederation">Articles of Confederation</a> and the government "must accept the Articles of Confederation".<a href="#cite_note-148">[137]</a> Yes, you read that correctly: Hansen bases his argument for overturning Hovind's felony convictions on a system of governance that dissolved itself in 1789. Thus, Hovind's source for legal advice is on a par with his sources about science. Just how bad were Kent Hovind's legal ramblings? Eric Hovind got them removed from creationist websites.<a href="#cite_note-149">[138]</a> He wrote several books while in federal prison under his own name and under the <a href="/wiki/Pseudonym" title="Pseudonym">pseudonym</a> Elijah Greene.<a href="#cite_note-150">[139]</a> Hovind blogs to his readers: "I wrote a book and published it in April 2013 called What on Earth is About to Happen... for Heaven's Sake? It is available as an eBook on 2peter3.com and can be purchased in full color (240+ pages) from [email redacted by rationalwiki]."<a href="#cite_note-151">[140]</a> His self-published books are sold through the same website.<a href="#cite_note-152">[141]</a> His 2013 dissertation is also sold through Amazon.com's self-publishing subsidiary (CreateSpace).<a href="#cite_note-153">[142]</a> In addition to his blogging, nearly weekly "interviews" with Hovind from federal prison were conducted by Gea Ambrosia and posted on <a href="/wiki/Youtube" class="mw-redirect" title="Youtube">youtube</a> in 2014.<a href="#cite_note-154">[143]</a> According to Club Creation, "Evangelist Gea" hosts Truth Serum Talk Radio which states: "Hovind is not able to take calls while on the show," but can "engage listeners through chat" as "Chatters can make comments, ask questions and Dr. Hovind will Answer them in REAL TIME.. LIVE!"[sic].<a href="#cite_note-155">[144]</a> In late March, she announced she was "taking a leave of absence until further notice due to personal reasons",<a href="#cite_note-156">[145]</a> but later resumed interviewing Hovind in prison.<a href="#cite_note-157">[146]</a> In May 2014, Hovind was moved from Federal Correctional Institution, Berlin in New Hampshire to Federal Correctional Institution at Montgomery, <a href="/wiki/Alabama" class="mw-redirect" title="Alabama">Alabama</a>.<a href="#cite_note-HovindBlogSummer2014-158">[147]</a> The prison rules state that prisoners "may not give to or receive anything from another inmate."<a href="#cite_note-159">[148]</a> Yet, Hovind made "bookmarkers and paper airplanes for a few guys and it spread like wildfire" inside the prison.<a href="#cite_note-HovindBlogSummer2014-158">[147]</a> According to Eric Hovind, Kent Hovind was moved from the prison to Elmore County Jail for violating prison rules.<a href="#cite_note-160">[149]</a> The case was reviewed by law enforcement, which can take up to 180 days.<a href="#cite_note-161">[150]</a> <h3>Lawsuits, legal filings and criminal contempt[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Kent_Hovind&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Lawsuits, legal filings and criminal contempt">edit</a>]</h3> <table style="margin: auto; border-collapse:collapse; border-style:none; background-color:transparent;" class="cquote"> <tbody><tr> <td><div style="padding:4px 50px;position:relative;">“”Many great generals in history had a simple philosophy that often brought victory — "Attack!

In 2013, Hovind wrote that "God sent" Alex Matthews "from <a href="/wiki/Washington,_DC" class="mw-redirect" title="Washington, DC">Washington, DC</a> to live right in my room on the top bunk", and, in Hovind's words, then "helped" with his legal filings.<a href="#cite_note-163">[152]</a> According to a US Department of Justice press release, in 2011 Alexander Otis Matthews pleaded guilty "to fraud charges in connection with mortgage and investment schemes to obtain more than $12 million in fraudulent loans."<a href="#cite_note-164">[153]</a> At his sentencing, Matthews received 10 years in prison, was ordered to forfeit $7.9 million and must pay $5,055,250 in restitution to his victims.<a href="#cite_note-165">[154]</a> Hovind has since filed numerous legal claims, including fraudulent liens on property the US government seized for his debt.<a href="#cite_note-166">[155]</a> In 2012, a federal judge placed an injunction on Creation Science Evangelism and its "representatives or agents" to prevent them from putting liens on forfeited properties without first obtaining a court order, and in 2013 found Hovind had no merit to file claims on the property and allowed the government to submit a proper motion to show cause.<a href="#cite_note-167">[156]</a> The US Attorney alleges "Hovind willfully violated the permanent injunction order" and is seeking to hold Hovind in criminal contempt, announcing: "The United States Attorney's Office is ready to immediately appoint a criminal prosecutor to the case for any further action that this Court deems necessary."<a href="#cite_note-168">[157]</a> On July 8, 2014, the judge granted the government's motion and is ordering "Hovind to show cause why he should not be punished for criminal contempt."<a href="#cite_note-docs.google-169">[158]</a> In August 2013, Hovind was referring to himself as a "POW", and (despite all of his appeals resulting in dismissal) wrote that he was moving forward with more legal "battles".<a href="#cite_note-BlogUpdate2013August-170">[159]</a> Around this time, Hovind filed: <ul><li>A lawsuit against the Bureau of Prisons pro se in 2012<a href="#cite_note-171">[160]</a>("dismissed with prejudice for lack of prosecution" in 2013<a href="#cite_note-172">[161]</a>)</li> <li>Another pro se 2013 suit against five prison employees "in their personal capacity"<a href="#cite_note-173">[162]</a> (dismissed in 2014<a href="#cite_note-174">[163]</a>)</li> <li>A pro se petition for "brady material" in 2011,<a href="#cite_note-175">[164]</a> a pro se "2255 motion"<a href="#cite_note-176">[165]</a>(dismissed<a href="#cite_note-BlogUpdate2013August-170">[159]</a>)</li> <li>Another 2011 pro se "Motion for Reconsideration"<a href="#cite_note-177">[166]</a> (dismissed<a href="#cite_note-178">[167]</a>)</li> <li>Yet another 2011 pro se Writ of Mandamus<a href="#cite_note-179">[168]</a></li> <li>A complaint against the judge in his criminal trial<a href="#cite_note-180">[169]</a> (and after it was dismissed, he complained in a letter about the dismissal<a href="#cite_note-181">[170]</a>)</li> <li>A complaint against the Assistant US Attorney<a href="#cite_note-182">[171]</a></li> <li>A complaint with the Bar Association<a href="#cite_note-183">[172]</a></li> <li>A complaint with the Department of Justice's Professional Misconduct Review Unit<a href="#cite_note-184">[173]</a></li> <li>A $25 million tort against the United States of America in 2013<a href="#cite_note-185">[174]</a></li> <li>A pro se 2013 appeal against the Commissioner of IRS<a href="#cite_note-186">[175]</a> ("dismissed for failure to prosecute"<a href="#cite_note-187">[176]</a>)</li> <li>A 2014 pro se Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus regarding the warden of FCI Berlin<a href="#cite_note-188">[177]</a> (dismissed<a href="#cite_note-189">[178]</a>)</li></ul> Prior to these lawsuits, Hovind had a history of making legal claims that were rejected by the court, including filing for bankruptcy which was dismissed as a "<a href="/wiki/Bad_faith" title="Bad faith">bad faith</a>" filing.<a href="#cite_note-190">[179]</a> Then he sued IRS Agent Scott Schneider, which was also dismissed<a href="#cite_note-191">[180]</a> with the judge citing the Tax Anti-Injunction Act<a href="#cite_note-192">[181]</a> and in Hovind's criminal case he was found guilty of impeding an IRS investigation by filing a "frivolous lawsuit" and "threatening investigators," according to both the Pensacola News Journal<a href="#cite_note-193">[182]</a> and the WorldNetDaily.<a href="#cite_note-194">[183]</a> One IRS agent, M.C.

Hovind v. RationalMedia Foundation">Kent E. Hovind v. RationalMedia Foundation</a></div> On February 24, 2014, Hovind filed a pro se lawsuit against the <a href="/wiki/RationalWiki:RationalMedia_Foundation" title="RationalWiki:RationalMedia Foundation">RationalMedia Foundation</a> (although he originally called it by its previous name, the RationalWiki Foundation) based on claims he made about this article, referencing <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Kent_Hovind&oldid=1286719">this revision</a>.<a href="#cite_note-HovindRWComplaint-197">[186]</a> He did not have summons issued, and hence did not serve the complaint. The complaint referenced the foundation by name along with a number of John Doe editors seeking a retraction of certain phrases in the article, specifically: "Hovind is a young Earth creationist and convicted tax fraudster" and "[H]ovind has filed numerous legal claims with Matthews' help, including fraudulent liens on property the US government seized for his debt". Hovind disputed that the fraudulent liens were filed by him, claiming that they were "filed by supporters of the plaintiff, who is a Christian evangelist preacher with a worldwide following. The plaintiff did not file the liens referenced, and in fact, could not file the liens based upon his present incarcerated status. The plaintiff did not send the liens to the court to be filed, and in fact could not have filed the liens given that such liens must be filed in person at the county Land Records office."<a href="#cite_note-HovindRWComplaint-197">[186]</a> This was contradicted in the actual liens: "Kent E Hovind asks that this Memorandum Of Lis Pendens be recorded as a lien against the above shown parcel(s) of real property, and that a stamped copy of each lien be mailed back to him at the address below."<a href="#cite_note-198">[187]</a> He also wrote several blogs, such as August 2013 that "I filed a 'Lis Pendens',"<a href="#cite_note-199">[188]</a> and again in October 2013 that "I filed a lis pendens in the county office to stop the sale of any other properties."<a href="#cite_note-200">[189]</a> Hovind sought a sum of $2.5 million jointly from the RationalMedia Foundation and the "John Doe author" of this article for damages to his reputation. In December 2015, a federal judge dismissed the case.<a href="#cite_note-201">[190]</a> On February 25, 2014, Matthews himself also filed a lawsuit against the RationalMedia Foundation for $1.5 million.<a href="#cite_note-202">[191]</a><a href="#cite_note-203">[192]</a> This too was never served. <h3>Mail fraud, criminal contempt charges and trial[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Kent_Hovind&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Mail fraud, criminal contempt charges and trial">edit</a>]</h3> In October 2014, Hovind and Paul Hansen were indicted on six charges by a federal grand jury in Pensacola, Florida for issues concerning the property seized by the government. They were charged with mail fraud, attempt and conspiracy to commit mail fraud and criminal contempt<a href="#cite_note-dr-dino-facing-new-legal-woes-204">[193]</a> for interfering with the sale of the properties Hovind had been forced to forfeit as a result of the 2006 tax case.<a href="#cite_note-205">[194]</a> The indictment accuses Hovind and Hansen of several charges, including that they "willfully, knowingly, and with intent to defraud, devise and intend to devise a scheme to defraud the United States" through "a Claim of Lien Affidavit of Obligation with attachments" and "four Memoranda of Lis Pendens."<a href="#cite_note-206">[195]</a> Previously in 2013, Hovind wrote that "the new Assistant US Atty used the judge's order at the county courthouse to change the deeds on all the properties from: 'Property of Creation Science Evangelism Church Ministry Trust' to 'Property of U.S. Gov'," and in response, "I filed a 'Lis Pendens' which means no action can be taken until all legal issues … are resolved."<a href="#cite_note-207">[196]</a> On March 2, 2015, Hovind and Hansen's trial began,<a href="#cite_note-pnj_trial_begins-208">[197]</a> attracting about a dozen protesters calling for Hovind's release.<a href="#cite_note-pnj_trial_protest-209">[198]</a> When Hovind was put on the witness stand to testify about his 2006 convictions, he argued against his attorney's request to keep his answers brief, citing the fact that he's "threatened with 100 years (in prison)", and instead used his time to, among other things, accuse the government of persecuting him and cite scripture.<a href="#cite_note-pnj_hovind_witness-210">[199]</a> On March 12, 2015, the jury found Hovind and Hansen guilty of contempt of court, Hansen guilty of failing to appear before a Grand Jury, and Hansen not guilty on one count.<a href="#cite_note-pnj_verdict-211">[200]</a> The jury was hung, reportedly 11 to 1 in favor of finding Hovind guilty of the remaining charges.<a href="#cite_note-212">[201]</a> According to Jonathan Schwartz, "The dissenter who hung the jury, was a militia member who appears to have been in prior contact with Free Kent Hovind supporters."<a href="#cite_note-213">[202]</a> The judge later dismissed Hovind's guilty contempt charge and as the federal prosecutor prepared for retrial, she dismissed the remaining charges without prejudice due to "the defendant’s concerns about the technical sufficiency of the superseding indictment and to be sure that defendants are adequately apprised of the nature of the acquisition against them."<a href="#cite_note-214">[203]</a> <h2>After prison (2015 to present)[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Kent_Hovind&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: After prison (2015 to present)">edit</a>]</h2> Federal prisoners who maintain good behavior can serve 85% of their sentence and be released.<a href="#cite_note-215">[204]</a> Hovind's scheduled end of federal custody was on August 11, 2015, and on July 8, 2015, Hovind was released to home confinement for roughly one month to finish his prison sentence.<a href="#cite_note-216">[205]</a> In 2016, Kent Hovind divorced his wife of 40 years, Jo Hovind, and remarried a divorcee and anti-vax crusader Mary Tocco<a href="#cite_note-217">[206]</a> (disregarding for just a moment what Matthew 5:32 among others prescribes on that topic).<a href="#cite_note-218">[207]</a> This was after Kent condemned his wife Jo to a year in prison for the tax-fraud related matters because he refused to admit that he was solely responsible for the scam.<a href="#cite_note-219">[208]</a> This perhaps explains why the divorce was uncontested. By 2017, the marriage with Mary Tocco was over, with her leaving Kent claiming to feel "unsafe".<a href="#cite_note-220">[209]</a><a href="#cite_note-221">[210]</a><a href="#cite_note-222">[211]</a> As of 2017, Kent Hovind has resurrected himself as a self-styled YouTube "personality", but usually spends his time shooting himself in the foot and permanent damage-control mode, in the best tradition of the <a href="/wiki/Dunning-Kruger_effect" class="mw-redirect" title="Dunning-Kruger effect">Dunning-Kruger effect</a>. Hovind has expressed an intention to re-open his "Dinosaur Adventure Land" facility at a new location in Alabama. Hovind boasts the theme park will be uninsured, and that children going on rides will "do so at their own risk". The compound regularly attracts unpaid volunteers, who share Sov-Cit conspiracy theories, and that never ends badly. Hovind is also reported to be locking horns with Eric.<a href="#cite_note-223">[212]</a><a href="#cite_note-224">[213]</a> In late 2018, Hovind engaged in yet another debate with <a href="/wiki/AronRa" title="AronRa">AronRa</a> and committed still more logical fallacies, including denying the validity of Chromosomes as evidence and using selective horse breeding as "justification" for kinds.<a href="#cite_note-225">[214]</a> Also in 2018, Dinosaur Adventure Land came back to life in a donated gravel pit.<a href="#cite_note-226">[215]</a> In early 2020 he had a debate with <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0cd_-e49hZpWLH3UIwoWRA">Professor Dave Farina</a> in which he showed further ineptitude/<a href="/wiki/Intellectual_honesty" title="Intellectual honesty">dishonesty</a> such as his question "do you <a href="/wiki/Evolution_is_a_religion" class="mw-redirect" title="Evolution is a religion">believe</a> <a href="/wiki/Do_you_want_to_be_descended_from_a_monkey%3F" title="Do you want to be descended from a monkey?">we came from</a> <a href="/wiki/Sponge" title="Sponge">sponges</a>, Dave?"<a href="#cite_note-227">[216]</a> After the debate, Dave gave Hovind five challenges, and of course he never took his offer for the second debate.<a href="#cite_note-228">[217]</a> I wonder why?

Lizards are scaly reptiles of an ancient bloodline. The oldest lizards antedate the earliest dinosaurs by a full thirty million years. A few large lizards, such as the man-eating Komodo dragon, have been called "relicts of the dinosaur age", but this phrase is historically incorrect. No lizard ever evolved the birdlike characteristics peculiar to each and every dinosaur. A big lizard never resembled a small dinosaur except for a few inconsequential details of the teeth. Lizards never walk with the erect, long-striding gait that distinguishes the dinosaur-like ground birds today or the bird-like dinosaurs of the Mesozoic. — <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_T._Bakker" class="extiw" title="wp:Robert T.

In Hovind an IRS agent conducting an investigation into federal income tax liabilities went onto a third person’s property to serve several summons. Despite a posted 'No Trespassing' notice, the IRS agent entered the property without obtaining prior consent and served the summons. The third party sought to enjoin the IRS from trespassing on his property. The federal district court held that the injunction was barred by the Tax Anti-Injunction Act, which provides that '"no suit for the purpose of restraining the assessment or collection of any tax shall be maintained in any court by any person."' Because the actions the third party sought to enjoin would impair IRS attempts to assess and collect taxes owed by the taxpayer, the court concluded that the Anti-Injunction Act was applicable." </li> <li id="cite_note-193"><a href="#cite_ref-193">↑</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/pnj/doc/436019532.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Oct+19%2C+2006&author=Sowder%2C+Amy&pub=Pensacola+News+Journal&edition=&startpage=&desc=Employees+testify+in+%27Dr.+Dino%27+tax+trial">Employees testify in 'Dr. Dino' tax trial</a>, Pensacola News Journal, Oct 19, 2006 </li> <li id="cite_note-194"><a href="#cite_ref-194">↑</a> "Hovind was convicted of failing to collect and pay $470,000 in withholding taxes, obstructing tax laws, structuring transactions totaling $430,500 to avoid financial reporting laws, filing a frivolous lawsuit against the IRS, filing an injunction against an IRS agent and threatening investigators and others who cooperated with the investigation." <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/12/creationist-hopes-bill-will-free-him-from-prison/">Creationist hopes bill will free him from prison</a> WorldNetDaily, 12/17/2013 and repeated in <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.wnd.com/2009/05/98757/">'Government persecuting' jailed creation evangelist</a> WorldNetDaily 05/31/2009 </li> <li id="cite_note-195"><a href="#cite_ref-195">↑</a> Amy Sowder,<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061019/NEWS01/610190338/1006">Workers testify in 'Dr. Dino' trial</a>, Pensacola News Journal, October, 19, 2006. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/10/20/pensacola-hilarity/">This article is reprinted by Myers here</a>.
