I am now much stupider for having read that. But it was a good laugh.
Hovind has a very, very severe case ...... and his case is incurable.
I'm not surprised there was a 'conspiracy' to suppress this and keep it out of the glare of a public airing. I would have had a prof beat me with a stick if I even tried to pass this off as a satisfactory paper during my freshman year.

out of interest, does anyone know what level dissertation this was? 3rd grade? That's about the reading level, anyway. |

What interesting 'academic' writing.... out of interest, does anyone know what level dissertation this was? Did he 'pass'? ;D He must have "passed" - 1991 is the year he was awarded his (ahem) "doctorate". Here's Wikipedia on PBU: Much of the criticism of Patriot is leveled at the controversial creationist evangelist Kent Hovind, who received M.A. and Ph.D. degrees at Patriot in 1989 and 1991 respectively, both in Christian Education. Hovind's use of the title "Doctor" in particular has provoked extensive scrutiny of his education credentials and his dissertation. It's crazy, though - the dissertation wouldn't have gotten past a proofreader, let alone any halfway competent dissertation defense. |

I showed this to a friend who is stressing about starting her PhD, I thought it might cheer her up but she's just muttering darkly about squiring weapons and culling humanity.

With all this spare time on his hands what if he decides to pursue another dissertation? Frightening thought.
