What was God's judgement on Dino Adventure Land?

Today is August 31, 2009 the day that the Hovind family was to come up with funds to save DAL or turn it over to the feds as payment for Kent Hovind's criminal activity. At one point earlier this month, Eric Hovind asked donors to send cash to support DAL. There was a quick early support for the effort, but then Eric went tripping around the lights of Holywood in awe of Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort. For those who don't know Kirk is a former actor cum 'evangelist' who knows little about the bible and even less about science. Ray Comfort is the penultimate con-artist who uses religion more as a weapon than a tool for salvation. Anyway, the question of the day is whether or not Eric raised the cash to prevent the takeover. I guess either way 'god's will' has been served. If they raised the money, then God saw fit to protect the ministry and if they did not raise the money, then God is using them in a new fashion. Doncha just love prayer? Always answered and therefore impossible to test. My bet is that DAL is dead. It died while Eric kissed up to a former childhood actor and a man who's con game is selling bananas to streetwalkers in Hollywood?

PS: I'll bid $1.00 on the leap of faith swing at DAL

More Wackiness from a local 'Christian' Church

They are at it again. The cult "Dove Church" just up the road from our house is now forcing the children of the church to send a message of hate by wearing "Islam is of the Devil" t-shirts. The good news is that no local t-shirt company would print the shirts and the schools are kicking the kids out for dress code violations. The "Reverend Jones" who runs the church is becoming increasingly strange. One can only wonder if this is a prelude to another religious tragedy. The church is very, very strange.

How about this for a rambling note

about how I should view evolution??

I am narrow minded. I did say you should be open minded, but challenged you to Biblical. Jesus Christ said that Adam was in the beginning. Do you know the limiting factors. Just from a scientific perspective that are lots of facts that do limit the age of the earth.

I will not and can not be open minded when it comes to God and His word. I am fundamental in my believes. And see evolution as a faith that has no scientific origin.

The fact that we see changes in the different kinds of animals does not make a elephant out of a mouse. Cosmic evolution is a faith just as Creation is. Consequently when men start making God in to a monkey, for said He let us make man in our own image (Genesis 1:26) , it is clear that they became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart are darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.(Rom 1:19-23)

Jesus said: Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
(Matthew 7:13-15)

So if you are by own admission broad 'open-minded' surely you are on a way that leads to destruction. The Word of God will be our guide and not some philosophy of unbelievers.

Again is point out to you that death came after Adam sinned, not millions of years ago in some primarily soup. Death came in the garden of eden. (1Co 15:21-22)

I don't know it all, but my God does. You don't know it all and certainty not those who think themselves to be wise.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18-24)

I could give you a thousand video clips to look at, but O what will it profit you if all you find is the opinions of man.

Ahh, I so appreciate love notes. This was sent to me after I suggested he watch the following youtube video:

Eric Hovind starts facebook campaign

In order to save Dinosaur Adventure Land. He has 30 days to come up with $380K or turn over the land. I'm no tax expert, but can funds donated to the ministry be transferred to pay a tax debt? I guess if he comes up with the money, we'll find out.

Anyway, there probably are 380,000 fools who are willing to part with their money, so I'm not sure I'd bet against it. One can always have hope that one blight on the Pensacola community can be removed. I'd love to say good-bye to Dino Adventure Land.

Eric claims 'with God all things are possible'. I like the quote attributed (incorrectly) to PT Barnum "There's a sucker born every minute".

Kent Hovind Dr, Dino's Park Taken by the Feds

Creationist preacher cum Federal convict, Kent Hovind was dealt another blow this week. His 'Dinosaur adventure land' is being seized to cover debts related to his conviction for tax fraud. Dinosaur Adventure land is a rather low-tech, low-budget amusement park made especially for people who read the bible as a scientific text rather than a book about the history of the Hebrew people and the story of salvation from the christian godhead known as Jesus.

Hovind's ministry is currently being pushed by his son Eric Hovind who seems to be operating a scaled-back lecture circuit that largely mimics what his father presented on a series of videotapes. Like most creationists, Eric is mainly about preaching long-ago discredited arguments against evolution in the name of his peculiar religious viewpoints. The good news is that a few suckers will save some cash should they happen to stumble upon the soon-to-be defunct dino adventure land.
