[h3]Dr. Dino arrested for unpaid taxes [/h3]Kent Hovind is a creationist whacko who loves to insist that man once walked with the dinosaurs and that evolution is a "hoax". Now the good doctor has been indicted by the federal government, with charges he paid employees in cash as "missionaries" so that he could avoid tax obligations. Of course, he could always sell off [a href="vny!://www.dinosauradventureland.com/"]Dinosaur Adventure Land[/a], his creationist-themed funpark -- "Where Dinosaurs Meet God."
A snip from the article:
Kent Hovind, who often calls himself "Dr. Dino," has been sparring with the IRS for at least 17 years on his claims that he is employed by God, receives no income, has no expenses and owns no property. "The debtor apparently maintains that as a minister of God, everything he owns belongs to God and he is not subject to paying taxes to the United States on money he receives for doing God's work," U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Lewis Killian Jr. wrote when he dismissed a claim from Hovind in 1996. [/p]Hovind, an avowed creationist, has widely publicized his "standing offer" to pay $250,000 to anyone who can provide scientific evidence of evolution. "No one has ever observed a dog produce a non-dog," Hovind once wrote in reply to a New York Times article.
