Recommended Reading (reading level 2): Kent Hovind's SECOND PhD Dissertation
http://cowgernation.com/wp-content/u...5/01/Kent1.png
Dr. Kent Hovind We have previously assessed THE modern classic of Creation Science, Dr. Hovind's PhD Dissertation titled DISSERTATION FOR DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN CHRISTIAN EDUCATION that was approved with top grades at the Patriot University (at present "Patriot Bible University"). Now it is time to review his SECOND thesis What on Earth is about to happen.. for Heaven's sake?: A Dissertation on End Times According to the Bible that was approved by the Patriot Bible University for Hovind's Doctor of Ministry degree - again with top grades. We are going to see some top class Creation Science, learn about its methodology and get a glimpse to the ambitious mind of Dr. Hovind. He is the modern day apostle Paul who can produce excellent research while being incarcerated in jail because of false accusations. 1. Unprecedented style Unlike secular scholars, Dr. Hovind's dissertation's target audience is the True Christian™. While the first dissertation was written in a straightforward language that made it suitable even for 1st class pupils, the second one is a bit more technical and I cannot recommend it for children under 10 years of age (girls should be at least 12). However, the ingenious writing style of Dr. Hovind makes it feasible to read his work aloud for younger children, as Dr. Hovind clearly points out the emphasis and the important issues in his text, as we can see in the very beginning of this entertaining book (p. 2)! Quote:
2. New data on pre-Fall history of the Creation Who hasn't pondered how long Adam and his woman spent time in Eden before the Serpent seduced Eve? I know, everyone has thought about this. Dr. Hovind has the answer (p. 50). :praise: Quote:
WARNING! THE FOLLOWING IMAGE CONTAINS NON-FRONTAL NUDITY AND IT MAY CAUSE AROUSAL IN UNSAVED SINNERS! http://mostholy.net/sitebuilderconte...Gardenfr12.gif This also shows how to use the methodology of Creation Science. It is crucial to trust one's spiritual instincts and prayer and rely on the answers that FEEL right. Dr. Hovind is the world-leading expert on this method and I've really learned a lot on the applications of Creation Science through this great endeavor of his. 3. The Big Picture Now we get to the main part of the Dissertation. Dr. Hovind attempts to paint a canvas of world history not only concerning the past but also concerning the FUTURE. His source material is first-class, as it consists of the Bible (supplemented with prayer and his own rational mind). The study question and his motivations for the project are as follows (p. 112): Quote:

4. Ambition We still have a long way to go. In addition to the previous issues, Dr. Hovind also attempts to pinpoint the Second Coming. He actually gives us a Date for the End of Times. In addition, he assesses the order of events leading to Rapture, etc. I fully support ambitious and cutting-edge Creation Science, but in this case I'm afraid Dr. Hovind is almost over-ambitious. He uses the only reliable source available (the Bible) but he sadly neglects one important verse. I am of course referring to Mark 13:31-32. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. By dismissing this pivotal data, Hovind comes to a conclusion (p. 239): Quote:
1. Where is Mark 13:31-32. This is unfortunately hubris.In addition, Dr. Hovind is abandoning pre-Tribulation Rapture. also here, his conclusions are questionable (p. 114). Quote:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 5. Almost saved? Despite these shortcomings, Dr. Hovinds dissertation is obviously another future classic by the best Creation Scientist we have. However, his wishful thinking has led him slightly astray regarding the minutiae of timing when it comes to Jesus' Second coming. Fortunately, Dr. Hovind has the prudence to summarize his findings in a manner that can be endorsed by the Creation research Community as a whole. Quote:
:repent: What do the mistakes mean for Dr. Hovind's Salvation? Unfortunately his hubris regarding the End of Times is a grievous sin (James 2:10) and unless he notices his mistakes and repents, his soul will be lost. Obviously, I've sent my review to Dr. Hovind and I'm positive he'll make the necessary revisions in the very near future. Read his book. Beware of the false teachings but embrace the conclusions. Read it aloud to your sons and daughters. http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/...r_1965174c.jpg Read the Bible. Yours in Christ, Elmer :bye: |

Thank you Brother Elmer. Dr Hovind is indeed, an intellectual giant compared with we mere mortals. And such a scholarly paper too. I am in awe.

Thank you Brother Professor Dr. White. I have bookmarked the online version for little Hannah to read to her younger brothers. It is unusual to see a PhD thesis so attractively and imaginatively illustrated. That certainly makes it more attractive to young children.

Brother, I'm worried about the impure thoughts that the picture of the naked people will induce in unclean minds. Perhaps you should use something like this?

Isaiah 47:3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man. I want also to add that Dr. Hovind's breathtaking oeuvre contains many useful rebuttals to atheists. I suggest that all True Christians™ learn by heart the following proof for the young age of the Earth (p. 39): Quote:

Re: Recommended Reading (reading level 2): Kent Hovind's SECOND PhD Dissertation
As a Biblical scientist, you would expect me to find fault somewhere within this dissertation. However, I am ready to admit that Dr Hovind is a surpassing mind.
See the masterful way that He opens his magnum opus with "The wages of sin is death (Romans 3:23)." a verse that actually says "Ro:3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" whereas Romans 6:23 says, "Ro:6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." There goes a genius, binding the Word of God to the Word of God... We can only stand back in amazement. And then I came across this: "I think if we could know all the facts we would find the creation events of Genesis 1 were in about 3972 B.C. so Jesus was crucified exactly 4,000 years later. That would put the end of the 6,000 years at 2028 A.D." Only Dr Hovind's mind could show how "if we could show ... [that it] were in about 3972BC" can so obviously translate into "exactly 4,000 years later." Dear Lord, this is a goldmine... |

Whereas I am certain Hillary Clinton would have no problems committing mail fraud, evading taxes and being a great danger to the community, Kent Hovind is clearly the complete opposite of that. I am convinced Jesus planned Kent Hovind's release from prison on August the 9th, 2015 to allow Kent Hovind to run for vice president besides Sarah Palin and win America back for Americans. Just one look at Kent Hovind's face and you know for certain Kent Hovind is a through and through honest and decent Christian who is showing America what following Jesus is really all about. Just thinking about how great Kent Hovind is brings tears to my eyes! If I were a woman I would want to bear Kent Hovind's children!

1 Corinthians 4:12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: No-one knows the chagrin and sorrow of True Christians™ when we strive to save the souls of sinners. With heavy hearts we try to restrict their actions and bless them with rightful punishments, but we only receive violent outbursts as our reward. Dr. Hovind expresses this beautifully (p. 244): Quote:

Re: Recommended Reading (reading level 2): Kent Hovind's SECOND PhD Dissertation
Brother Professor Elmer, thank you for bringing this wonderful piece of scholarship to our attention. The atheists often say that the difference between religion and science is that the former operates based on faith, while the latter operates based on evidence. Dr. Hovind's second Ph.D. dissertation clearly shows that Christian scholars can masterfully combine the two, using the Biblical evidence as the basis, and then using scientific method to prove their theses. Obviously, in the process, the scientific method is somewhat stretched/bent, so that the results conform to the Biblical Truths, but that only makes it better. :thumbsup:
