Kent Hovind

Kent E. Hovind (born 15 January 1953), the self-styled Dr Dino, is an American Young Earth Creationist (YEC) evangelist who is currently offering US$250,000 to anyone who can prove evolution "is the only possible way," that the Universe and life arose, although the offer is widely considered to be spurious. He is the founder of Creation Science Evangelism, his non-profit ministry.

Theology

Hovind considers the King James Version of the Bible the inerrant word of God and must be taken literally to its word in context. Because of this, he believes all findings of science will eventually be found to agree with Scripture — which he claims is a priori known to be truth. He claims that evolutionists also have a priori assumptions, namely that God does not exist (or at least not one that performed special Creation) thereby distorting their own application of science.

Hovind is also a staunch advocate of the King-James-Only Movement, which means he believes in using only the King James Version of the Bible, claiming that it is the only reliable translation of the word of God for the English-speaking peoples. According to him, many of the numerous other English translations of the Bible are in some way corrupt, not being based on the Textus Receptus.
