TILL
I have been asked to debate the "creation scientist" Kent Hovind via
telephone hook-up over station WJBC-AM in Bloomington, Illinois, on October
2nd at 10:00 A.M.  This station is located at 1230 on the A. M. dial.  I
have been looking for a posting I saved of a web site that exposes the phony
degrees of some creation "scientists," but I can't locate it.  I recall
finding Kent Hovind on this list when I went through it a few weeks ago.
Does anyone know what this site is?  I'd like to review it before the radio
program Friday.


Hm. So far found http://www.linkline.com/personal/frice/credoc.htm
 With a short listing which doesn't include Hovind. I'll keep looking  :



>From Lenny Flank's page on the web, here's a few examples of the "scientists" (har har) Laurie and other creationists rely on.
IS THERE A REAL DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE? Next time you see a creation "scientist", ask him where he got his degree. --"Dr" Richard Bliss, who develops curriculum materials for the Institute for Creation Research, has a doctorate in education from the University of Sarisota in Florida, an unaccredited diploma mill that is located in a hotel. --"Dr" Kelly Segraves, a co-founder of the Creation Science Research Center, claims to have an MA and DSc degree. The doctorate is supposed to be an honorary degree from "Christian University", but no such place exists in the United States. Segraves dropped the "Dr" from his name in 1981. His Masters is supposed to come from "Sequoia University", but this doesn't exist either. There is a Sequoia College in California, but it has no record of a student named Segraves. --"Dr" Harold Slusher, a co-founder of the Creation Research Society, claims to have an earned PhD from Columbia Pacific University and an honorary DSc from Indiana Christian University. Indiana Christian is a Bible college, while Columbia Pacific is an unaccredited diploma mill. --"Dr" Clifford Burdick of the Creation Research Society got his doctorate from the University of Physical Sciences in Arizona, which consists of a post office box at an unaccredited institute in Phoenix. --"Dr" Carl Baugh, of the Creation Evidences Museum near Glen Rose, Texas, has a PhD in anthropology from the College of Advanced Education, an unaccredited Bible college on the grounds of the Sherwood Park Baptist Church. He has another PhD from the California Graduate School of Theology, an unaccredited college in California. Michael Fisher, aka Elfish Chimera, San Diego, California "If you work at that which is before you, following right reason seriously, vigorously, without allowing anything else to distract you, but keeping your divine part pure, as if you were bound to give it back immediately; if you hold to this, expecting nothing, but satisfied to live now according to nature, speaking heroic truth in every word which you utter, you will live happy. And there is no man able to prevent this." --Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor and Stoic, from his MEDITATIONS, III, 12.---
