I would ask that all Christian posters please remember Dr Kent Hovind and his wife, Jo, in their prayers.

For those of you who do not know, 'Dr Dino' was a creation scientist who has paid with his liberty for preaching the truth in the supposedly 'free' USA. In spite of his incarceration, he continues to fight the good fight here on his blog.

The 'official' version of events presented by the establishment is that Dr Hovind was indicted because he tried to defraud the IRS and refused to pay tax. For some reason, the IRS decided that Doc Hovind's group was not a religious organisation and thus demanded every last penny he had. This wasn't a lot - since both Kent and his wife did not take a salary and none of the volunteers who helped them were employees. NO OTHER CHURCH HAS BEEN TREATED LIKE THIS!!!

So why did they go for Kent? It all boils down to an offer he made in 1990, and which still stands. $250,000 to ANYONE who can present ANY empirical evidence for evolution. And, despite all the atheist rantings that evolution was a 'fact', NOT ONE SCIENTIST was able to take up this challenge.

The Truth is that Doc Hovind had the establishment corned: the TRUTH was about to come out. The response was an age-old one - DISCREDIT the servant of God through false allegations and lies. Ultimately the allegations themselves were not sufficient, so they threw him in prison.

BUT He will not be silenced, and his wonderful work is still being continued by his family and friends.
