You may write Dr. Hovind at the following address:
Kent Hovind #06452-017
Santa Rosa County Jail
PO Box 7129
Milton, FL 32572
Please keep the following in mind when writing Dr. Hovind:
You may not write to him using the title of “Dr.” They will return the mail to you if it is addressed in this manner. Although we have been told that this prison rule actually only applies to medical doctors who have had their medical licenses revoked, it has been our experience thus far that our federal prison system does not truly operate by regulations. Its operation is based on the warden in charge of the facility and the correctional officers that are in charge at the time.
You cannot send prisoners anything other than your correspondence. You cannot send DVD’s, videos, CD’s, stamps, envelopes, money, etc. Prisoners are allowed to receive paperback books, but only allowed to have 5 books in their possession at a time. This includes a Bible and study materials. Therefore, you can send Dr. Hovind one book at a time directly from yourself, but he may not be able to receive it immediately if he already has 5 in his possession. The prison mail room returns your entire package if you send too many books.
The prison system reads and opens all of Dr. Hovind’s mail. Any “hate mail” that severely criticizes the guards, the prison, judges, etc, will not serve any practical purpose in freeing Dr. Hovind, and may further agitate the people who have his life in their hands.
Please be understanding that Dr. Hovind may not be able to personally respond to every letter or card that he receives.
We continue to try to focus our creationtoday.org Web-Site on the creation ministry message. To read what Dr. Hovind is writing from prison visit kenthovindblog.com, and to read legal updates on his case you may follow the link at his website.
We appreciate the sacrifice of your time to write letters and cards of encouragement. Additionally, we need the sacrifice of your time to pray.
At Dr. Hovind’s request, we are no longer handing his legal defense fund. Rather a law-educated, layman who is assisting Dr. Hovind as he continues to fight his legal case pro se is handling this fund. His name is Paul Hansen. His contact information is as follows:

what can you tell us about “dhimmitude and health care bill?” Thanks.
What if you addressed it to Kent Hovind, but in the actual letter said DR?
It will be trashed.
Dear Dr. Hovind,
I’m wondering why there is so many science professors believe in the evolution theory?
Also, I’ve seen several debates about Christianity and other religions, such as Islam. Why many Christian scholars, such as Dr. Jerald Dirks, leave Christianity ?
Thank you
Hamza (Muslim student)
http://www.hamza-ghandorh.info
The man you listed was never a true student of Yeshua to begin with. There are many hypocrites in what you call “Christianity.” A true student of Yeshua is with him until the end. One day Allah, Mohammed, every muslim, and every other creature on this planet will bow down before Yeshua and call him “Lord.” It’s better to do it now than later, but make no mistake about you will call Yeshua “Lord” one day.
Mr. Hamza,
I’m wondering why there is so many science professors believe in the evolution theory?
Like in any other false religion – they are deceived. They care more about what other men think than what God thinks I would suggest…
Also, I’ve seen several debates about Christianity and other religions, such as Islam. Why many Christian scholars, such as Dr. Jerald Dirks, leave Christianity ? There are many reasons for this – however – there are also many of the Muslim faith that come to true faith in Jesus Christ. We as men cannot fully explain the purposes nor the sovereignty of Almighty God in everything. I pray you as a muslim student come to know the one true God and His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
We are praying for you Mr. Hovind! We have been so blessed by the CSE seminar and college courses. It really is truly amazing that ANYONE can believe in such a silly theory – especially those who profess to be so smart (as this student above seems to believe).
We are hoping for your early release and can’t wait to meet you one day.
May God Bless you and Keep and may the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ dwell richly in you sir!

Dear Hamza, In the United States many science professor believe in evolution because it is all that is being taught by the school system here. Since most University leaders believe in this and won’t allow any teaching that doesn’t support evolution that is all students hear as they study to become professors. Plus many professors are athiests who seek to find any reason to NOT believe in a Creator. Evolution is something they can cling to so they can feel justified believing God does not exist. Hope this answers your question.
Dear Hamza,
evolutionism is a blinding, very strong evil spirit. –
If a spirit overwhelmes one,
he cannot be released from it only by intelligence,
nor intellectual reasons, but prayer and the mercy of God are also needed. –
If somebody very much wants to believe the evolution theory, he will always find some argumentation stuff for it,
no matter how stupid that really is. —
To your other question,
one of the reasons why some christians leave Jesus` way and convert to Islam, is, that the nature of man, his flesh,
as we christians say, wants to work for its salvation! –
It is difficult to understand, but it`s harder for humans to accept salvation as a free gift, than to do something for it! – People´s nature feels more secure, if they can follow laws and paragraphs, instead of only relying on what Jesus has done for us onto the cross. – The cross goes against pride and self-righteausness, because it shows the disability of man to save himself, or to deserve his salvation somehow. –
Hope this helps a bit.
Be blessed,
Nathalie
Hello Kent,
I have so enjoyed rewatching your Creation videos of late. Your information & help thru your research is tremendous, to say the least! I love to research myself as well.
One thing I’d like to address & that is the war question. According to the Bbible, esp. the NT, & esp. re: the motives of those who handle the wars behind the scenes & the sending of men & women in harm’s way, I have to say that since it is all a part of the world system & we are not of the world, that the thought or engaging in the causes of war ought to be refused. Please check into Kay Griggs’ testimony as just one source to know more behind the scenes of those in high places in the armed forces. Also, there’s a good book w/ a loooong title ( old book from the 1800’s) written by Joseph Hemmings. The title is “Mystic Babylon Described as the source of all war, persecution, and slavery…and the people of God called out of her, by a Disciple of the Prince of peace.” I had always wondered about the vss. in Rev. 17 & 18, particularly those vss. that state the word ALL, as in Rev. 18:24…how could the all refer to just America or any other place?! Also, city in Hebrew does not mean what it means in our English language, as you know. Joseph Hemmings traces that Mystery Babylon to have started w/ (satan, of course) but w/ Cain! Very interesting reading!
Thank you so much for all you’ve done & are now doing.
In Christ’s Name, Donna

Would like to know Bro. Hovind’s unjustified time remaining in prison.
http://N/A
Scheduled for August 2015 release.
And that will indeed be a grand day! I hope he causes evolution faith collapse all over the world! Go for it Dr. Hovind!
Dear Kent,
I have been a believer for 21 years and spent a year in Iraq with my US Army Combat Engineer Battalion looking for roadside bombs in Baghdad.
Over the years of being a believer, God has brought me to the place of asking Him for wisdom and I have done that in tears on my face before Him many times. I believe that He lead me to your ministries and through you to other creation teachers such as Ken Ham, Walt Brown, Carl Baugh, etc. for many of the answers to my questions on life.
I now have a much clearer biblical worldview because of God leading me to your teachings.
Thank you so much for your steadfast loyalty to defending the truth! God’s love to you my bother in Christ!
May our loving God fill you with His Holy presence every moment! May the power of the Holy Spirit be with you and may God dispatch His mighty Holy angels round about you, to protect you and give you rest and encouragement! May any and every person that hears the name Kent Hovind be brought to a place of repentance of their sin in the will of God and convicted of the evil of denying God’s power to be used for good in this fallen world.
How blessed so many are because of your close and loving relationship with the Lord Jesus. May God keep using you in even more powerful ways, that the lost will find hope in the truth that you teach and come to know the Lord in a personal, loving relationship that will last for all eternity, amen.
In modern times, I cannot see a more clear cut case of the evil one trying to stop the truth from being taught, than in this case of you being imprisoned. Where he meant it for evil, God will use this for good!
My heart is so blessed and my soul so uplifted as when I see the battle between good and evil in your case. Thank you almighty God for blessing the world with men such as Kent Hovind! amen.
I have and will be praying for you. May you be released before August 2015.
Hello
Just wondering if the actual date of his release will be known/published when ready?
Best regards,

As of now, he is scheduled for August 2015.
Dear Brother Hovind, I am an Independent Baptist preacher in Tennessee. I just want you to know how proud I am of the work that The Lord is doing through your life and ministry. I want to encourage you not to give up or compromise in the face of opposition. The devil will always battle truth. You know that you are doing right by how hard satan fights you. My wife and I love your show and would love to meet you someday. We will be praying for you brother.
I am uncertain whether or not Brother Kent Hovind himself will actually read this, but as long as it gets to someone, i dont care. There is a new “Scientific” (and i use the term loosely) out there in the world.. Theres a book about the theory called, “The Twelveth Planet.” i dont quite understand the theory, because i havent read much on it, and im only fourteen, so as a result i dont have money to purchase the book to read it. But i was debating with my uncle, whos an athiest, and he kept using that book as a constant reference during our descussion and i didnt quite understand what he was talking about, and he assumed i was ignorant. I just thought i would give you a heads up (if you didnt already know) and maybe, hopefully you would write an article or something for the rest of us, so we can be “The Salt of the Earth”
until sometime later,
Devin Wilson
i meant “scientific” theory, towards the top. my bad
Mr. Wilson, do not be discouraged as this is a very large and complex matter that the bible very soundly refutes. I believe you are referring to Planet X ( or Nibiru) it’s story is contained in the Sumerian tablets and is part of a larger deception concerning aliens and the origin of the human species( the movie Promoetheus actually reveals this). I am having a hard time digging into the origins of the cuneiform tablets but I am trying to link the information contained in the tablets to the Cainitic rebellion and the consequent founding of the first city Enoch. If Cain set his firstborn up as the first king then the Ante-Diluvian King’s List becomes very interesting indeed. The information contained in the cuneiform tablets ( Alien conspiracy, extra planets, DNA manipulation, the king’s list, Satan as the true creator of man, etc) is an extravagant perversion of what is found in scripture and should be veiwed, in my honest opinion, as Cain’s new founded religion designed to explain away God for his new “if it feels good do it” civilization. Remember, Cain did have personal interaction with God so his deception was well constructed from using this experience. Although, I have yet to find a definitive source on this topic after having bought and studied over 20 books and counting on the subject. I may have to write my own should the Lord grant me the time and license to do so.
Hi there…I’m from South Africa…I just want to add my opinion. I personally believe in the “anunaki(those who from the heavens came)”. In ancient mesopotamia-sumeria they we’re named thus.In te book of Genesis they’re called te sons of God. In the hidden book of Enoch they are called the watchers. What is interesting is,in the book of Enoch it gives a lot of info concerning them and what they taught mankind…there is no doubt that they were here since almost every ancient culture all over the world talks of them…But from the Word of God and also the Book of Enock it is clear that their pupose was to deceive mankind,not only in committing fornication to produce giants,but also by teaching them technology and war and all kinds of things that led to men starting pagan religions. Read te book of Enoch,very cool!!!
Greetings
Hello
I just want to say that I love what you are doing and I will pray for you to be more successful .
Best regards
Dear Dr. Hovind,
I pray that this letter finds you in good health and that you are doing well. Recently I posted a challenge question and received a comment that it was illogical in regards to evolution. And the challenge questions is as follows.
Challenge: take the most sophisticated building we have present today, medical, communications, technology, structural stability, and the most advanced systems of security that can possibly be conceived . Now how much time will need to be allotted to convince any “Rational and intellectual” thinking person that it just evolved out of the ground to what you see before you today with out the assistance of man or any kind of logical or rational design? Remember the challenge and question is a matter of how much time is needed to scientifically prove the evolution of a building without design help what so ever. How much time is needed?
Is this question really unfair or illogical to pose when faced with the absolute beating that evolutionist love to dish out? I am curious for your thought or anyone else s thoughts on this matter. To me it seems that our universe and existence is infinitely more complex than anything we have come up with, and yet the common reply is that this does not prove creation. I am simply asking for a time frame, and yes there is an underlying question here.
Sir, I have just watched your seminars and I was blown away! I am a student of science and I fully appreciate the way you use it to prove God made everything. Keep strong and I will pray for you. I have shared your findings with others and I hope to use your materials to save others. I consider you my teacher in these matters and I look forward to your release. God bless you for all you have done.
Well, Dr. Hovind I pray for you and your family. You are a real man of God. You are courageous and you stand for what is right. Some people may think this is strange that a strong Catholic Christian is in your corner but I know you don’t. Stay strong in Christ and never give up.
Dear Mr. Hovind,
I would like to thank you for all the wonderful and amazing work you have done. I have watched many of your debates on youtube and they are truly inspirational. Do you plan to continue these debates, and expose the lies taught in our school system? I pray for you that you may be released SOON!
I recently borrowed your DVD set from a friend and have been watching it with my kids. Because we are throughly enjoying them, I went online to find more resources. Imagine my dismay when I googled your name to find that your are in prison for tax fraud. I found your blog and am interested to know if you have repented of your wrong doing or if you are continuing to defend your actions?
you M O R O N… all what he did is that he OBEYED THE LAW… obeying the law will put u in prison… and also the act of saving millions of souls per year will put u in jail…
You assume Dr. Hovind is GUILTY. Why? What laws has he broken? Just because the government says he’s guilty doesnt make it so. In plain english, he was unjustly & illegally imprisoned for not paying taxes that any 501c3, non-profit organization has the right to do. The irs disagreed, took him to court, the court found him guilty & sentenced him to 10 yrs.
Did ANY of the Wall St. crooks do 1 day in jail? I ask to show you that the government does WHATEVER they want. We are no longer a country ruled my laws, but by contempt for the law.
SPIRITUALLY, we wrestle NOT AGAINST flesh & blood but against the rulers of the world, spiritual wickedness in high places. BOTTOM LINE…Kent Hovind is in fed. prison because he is doing the work of the Lord, by EXPOSING the demonic teachings to our children in the public school system. HE IS BEING MADE AN EXAMPLE TO INSTILL FEAR INTO OTHER PRACTICING BELIEVERS OF THE Lordship of Jesus, the MESSIAH.
Amen! Brother, nicely said!
Hello, I just read your note to Dr. Hovind and wanted to say there is more to the story than you are reading about Dr. Hovinds case. He was told by a tax attorney, from what I understand, that because his organization was tax exempt that he did not need to with hold from his employees the federal with holding, but rather they will have to report that on their own. This evidence was not allowed to be presented to the courts. And the confiscated his building and property saying that if he paid them a certain amount that they could buy everything back. Creation today raised the amount they asked for to get the building and property back but then the courts raised the cost to somewhere around 900,000.00. Dr. Hovinds family said they did not want to ask their supporters for more money so they just moved the facility down the block. I believe these charges were unfounded and that Dr. Hovind is being persecuted for exposing the truth about evoution and other things they did not want exposed. I do not believe for one moment that Dr. Hovind is a criminal but has been persecuted unjustly. He has been persecuted for his faith.
This is very accurate.
Hi Robin, I too am a Mom who was completely convinced that YAHWEH is the One true God and Yeshua was the Messiah by Dr. Hovinds teachings. I was lead by the Lord to find his program and watched it with my kids. We laughed at his jokes and my eyes had been opened. I always believed in Jesus but never knew why and if our faith was the true one untill Dr. Hovinds teachings and Ron Wyatt’s findings did I realize that all the Christians had it right all along and there was the proof. I too had believed the lies of evolution theory but my eyes were wide open to the truth once I watched the creation seminars. I thank God (YAHWEH) and Messiah (YESHUA) Jesus for sending them into the world to set the record strait. I pray for blessing and protection for him and pray for his soon release. I know he is probably a model prisoner and am hoping that he gets out early for good behavior.
PLEASE — it would be nice if you at least got the facts before accusing!!
Hello Kent. My name is Roman, I live in Moldova. I am 33 years old, I enjoy your gear cycle of creation. I know that you are in prison, and would like to ask, how do you feel? Can I make friends with you?
Hey Kent, I’m a King James Bible believer and I do believe in a literal 6 day creation about 6-10 thousand years ago. I’ve just been checking out this book about the big bang it’s called “The Big Bang Never Happened” now I’m not sure what this guy believes about how we all got here but in chapter 1 on page 12 and 13 of the book he says “Just as early geological theory, which sought to compress the earth’s history into a biblical few thousand years crumbled when confronted with the aeons needed to build up a mountain range.” Now I know that is not true but I’m not to up on science and you were the first one that came to mind when I wanted someone to refute this so thanks Kent I hope you get this and I’m praying for your release!
Hi Kent,
I’m from Malawi, Central Africa. I’ve been watching your dvds (the Hovind Theory) for the last few days – just couldn’t stop. I can understand why then you are in prison – You are such a threat to Satan and all his plans. But Jesus warned us that we would be persecuted for His sake – and He calls such people “blessed.” Be encouraged brother, God is using you in a unique way. He alone knows what He intends to achieve.
Kent,
I watched your video today at a friends house. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you.
The only logical error I saw was in dating of the age from Adam to Christ. The 4000 years BC starts when Adam fell. We do not know how long he was in the Garden before he fell. Was it a year? Was it a billion years? Also, we do not know for sure if the 7 days of creation means our reference point or some other reference point, since the “day” was not put into motion in the beginning as we know it today. We don’t know how long it was. Perhaps a day of creation was billion years. Who knows? But we do know that it was 4000 years starting from when Adam fell.
Finally, I suggest we rethink the paradigm of Cain and Able being the first children born. The Bible doesn not say it. It’s an assumption. It is quite likely that Adam and Eve birthed immortal children in the Garden before they fell. Perhaps this is why Adam gave his wife the name “Eve” in honor of all the immortal children they had procreated, so he called her, “The mother of all living,” in honor of those immortal children already born. I base this possibility on four things:
1) Heavenly Father told them to multiply and be “one flesh” before they fell.
2) The curse of Eve for sinning was to “increase” or “multiply” the pain of childbirth which Eve had enjoyed before she fell.
3) Adam calls her the mother of all *living*. People born after the fall are dying, not living by definion.
4) This theory possibly explains the “sons of Elohim” that are mentioned in Genesis 6:1 that married Adam’s daughters. They were immortal childrden of Adam and Eve in the Garden.
If you are interested in hearing more about this theory and the difference between the Levitical and Melchezidek priesthoods, please write me sometime to discuss it further. Just keep in mind, I don’t “debate”, but I discuss intelligently.
Regards,
Greg
im certain you have never seen any of his seminars or debates because he debunks any of the nonsense you just stated
Greg, Mormonism is a lie from the pit of hell (along with the lie of evolution).
In addition to all the rubbish preached, starting with Joseph Smith, the fact of the matter is that Mormonism is also about incest – you marry someone who was apparently your “spiritual brother/sister”, you get sealed in your temple on earth and then you’re permanently married after death on your own planet, ie. you’re married and having kids with your own sibling.
Mormonism defiles the true Word of God. You rejected God’s Word (the Bible), for the word of Man (Book of Mormon, D&C’s, Pearl of Great Price etc.)
Any logical person can see straight through your post, but we are not “willingly ignorant” people, so your lies are not welcome here.

I just want to thank you guys who are running this site that keeps everyone updated on Dr. Hovind’s case status. It is very important that believers unite and pray to God to have Dr. Kent Hovind freed so that he may continue to spread the Seed of God to the world. I am not sure if Dr. Hovind has access to this site or not, but I just wanted to tell him, be strong in God so that He may glorify Him self in you. You have help thousands and thousands to see God’s hand at work and will continue to do so very soon. We love you brother, and we continue to pray. God bless you.

Dear Sir,
Warm greetings from India!
We are hoping to start a Creation Science adventure park in South
India – and we have no clue where to begin!
We have about 20 acres of land and a lot of dreams :))
Would you please advise/suggest some options?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Joyful and content, in Him,
Mohan and Janice
Dear Kent Hovin,
I just recently got introduced to your Creation Sessions via our Pastor at our chuch. I attend a Baptist church in California, and I had no clue you were in prison, until well, today.
I’m so sorry for how everything has turned out, but I just have one question, well I have many questions, but I’m wondering, why didn’t you just comply with the Federal laws and pay your taxes that they require you to pay (whether you think you should or should not because of many reasons you may have had, etc.)?
I mean Jesus wants us to follow the laws of the land (unless they are going against God’s laws), but Jesus said give to Ceaser what is Ceasers and give to God what is God’s. I feel like you could have saved yourself a lot of trouble and set a better example, don’t you think?
And, to tell you honestly, I don’t know any details of your case, only what I generally read on line (basically what Wikipedia has written on line, and they made it sounds like you just didn’t want to pay your tax bill and so you where found guilty and thrown into prison).
So, to tell you honestly, I have no clue on what exactly happened, but I do know I’m so dissapointed sir. Well, there are so many innocent people in jail now, and I’m sure many we have no clue of, but well, I just wanted to write to you and let you know how sad I am to hear of your present situation.
But, I am very impressed and find very brave of you to have debated and gone around the globe to speak of the Lord’s creation and challenge the Evolutionist’s view. That I am most certainly thankful to God for.
Before I knew that you were in jail, I had prayed several time for you, telling the Lord to keep guard of you and to keep giving you encouragement to keep your ministry going, and then I found out you where in prison.
I have to be truthful, in that some doubts crepted in me, about you and your work and ministry, about how honest it really is and how much of it is really just for God and his glory.
I pray your son Eric Hovin is doing unselfishly good for the Lord, and not anything in the contrary. Ultimately, anyways, you cannot deceive people all the time forever (if you are or your son is), you will eventually be found out.
I pray you are all trying to do good for the Lord, and not gain a buck for yourself, because as you say, there is a judgment day comming, and you will be severly judged if you are just taking advantage of people and their faith in the Creator, for your own selfish motives and desires.
God bless you Mr. Hovin.
TAXATION IS A VOLUNTARY ACT…read your laws! and watch this lecture about taxation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNNeVu8wUak
they tried to say he owed taxes on money he was tax exempt from. this is what happens when you are a practicing christian these days. id consider it an honor.
Cristina…what makes you think Dr. Hovind is guilty? The government does whatever it wants to do. Yes, there ARE 100’s if not 1000’s of people in jail who are innocent.
I write this because I read in your comment that YOU TRUST the government whole-heartedly, but GOD’s Word clearly says that satan is the god of this world…2Cor.4:4. Yes, Mr.Hovind didnt pay what they wanted, but what laws did he break? I’d rather OBEY GOD, rather than man…AND STAND FOR GOD’s PRINCIPLES…even if I must go to prison, Jesus, Paul, Peter & John…and many otheres did standing on GOD’s Word.
Dr. Hovind,
what is your opinion on Geocentrism?
The Bible clearly teaches that the earth does NOT move and that instead sun & moon revolve around the earth (Joshua 10:12-14).
Sincerely,
In Christ
Joshua
http://www.fixedearth.com
Might I ask you sir: when you awake every morning do you look out the window and exclaim WOW! What a beautiful earth revolving!!! Sounds kinda stupid don’t you think? Why do we say sunrise or sunset? The Bible isn’t making a scientific claim it’s only recording an event from the perspectives of mankind. Hope this has helped.
Is sharing your Blog PERMISSIBLE? <3+WENDY DISCHLER
Yes.
I was reading the Jack Chick cartoon, “Big Daddy” which sites you as a reference. The students states, “I’m sorry sir, most experts now agree Lucy was an unusual chimpanzee not a missing link.” I did a simple google search and couldn’t find any, let alone most experts that agree Lucy was a an unusual chimpanzee. Are most of those scientists, creation scientists? Also, what about those other missing links that were found?
Thank you.
Dr. Kent Hovind was instrumental in bringing me to Christ, and I am so very grateful. He’s awesome and I will include him and his family in my prayers.
In Christ,
Vince Stagliano
God Bless bro Kent.
Dear Kent and dear Readers,
The Hovind Theory is more than a theory. It is a quest for Truth.
Evolution does however exist, it is the blue-print of His Creation, it is real and resides in His Mind.
Therefore we cannot find evolution in our earthly, physical spere, but the Evolution Theory is in essence correct. As much as Kent is right in pointing out evolution did not happen as we have had it presented for so long.
Kent is in prison because he must be, as a martyr his message will have greater impact, reaching more souls. If you want to help him get out, and his message universally vocalized than start “Occupy Berlin !” Peacefully please. And hearken: there is not much time left, release in 2015 is aeons (billions and billions of years !) away. Use this internet as fervently as you can for it will cease soon.
Above, Greg Olson has a very interesting view, look at it and see where it fits in. Has he found a missing link ?
Love to All,

Dear Dr. Hovind,
Firstly I want to thank you for your brilliant series of DVDs on Creation Science. It has been thought provoking, spiritually challenging and highly enjoyable for our whole family here in South-Africa. As a young child I was so confused about evolution v.s what the Bible was saying about creation. When I was in my first year of study at university my Biology class included a chapter on evolution. I feverishly prayed that God would send me the answer and I was SO thankful when I heard the truth from your series.
But there is still ONE very big question plaguing me and I hope you can assist me with finding the answer. As you are an excellent researcher I was wondering if you could provide me with your insight on Homeopathy. I know the origin, “science” and the theory behind the practice and would like to inquire if you have any thoughts on the subject? My former colleagues dissertation was on Christians perceptions of Homeopathy . And even though its a controversial subject I believe it is something those that walk with God should consider very carefully.
I would greatly appreciate your feedback and insight on this matter. Thank you once again for taking the time to read and respond to my question.
God bless and may He keep you and strengthen you in all things.
Aviya
Dear Mr. Hovind, I consider you a great inspiration to me and even though you are in prison, I understand that the United States imprisons more people per capita that any other nation on earth including the next top 3 put together. My hope is you will never be embarrassed by it because it is a crown you have in the Lord, not a sin. I just want to encourage you if I may; I believe the Lord is using you to undo in great measure the schemes of the adversary. The Lord will wipe away your problems very soon and you will have as I said a very great reward. Not that I covet this life, but I would trade places with you had I the chance and receive the blessing of the Lord in due time. Peace to you and your family. I hope to write often.
Hi for many years now, ( every year I have done youe collage corse) to refresh the mind, now this year as praying that you would be home and making new DVD s and be with your family.
it came to mind how many people were you are need you, I guess you never know where God needs you, I just pray he will bring you back to us and your family soon.
in God we trust Kathy
I really hope someone reads this and it plants a seed. Free yourself from the chains of religion. Skepticism and wonder are far more rewarding than mindless belief in dogma that has no proof. The evidence for evolution is overwhelming. I was once a committed christian and can’t begin to tell you how much more rewarding it is to free your mind and think for yourself. Think about it. You are a christian most likely because your parents were christians, or you happened to be born in a christian culture. You are no more emphatic about your delusional beliefs than millions of hindus, muslims, or jews. There is no reason to believe gods, an afterlife, or he’ll exists. They are all man made. Take a chance. Read a book by Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, or Christopher Hitchens. If your faith is based on sound principles, there is no threat. Otherwise, you just may see the light and be free.
The evidence for evolution is “overwhelming”, is it? Then your religion is no different to mine. The only difference is that I believe in God and you believe in……..well, you. Sorry, but I’d rather have my God anyday.
And I’ve lived in your world of “free thinking”. All it got me was being abused, rejected and physically assaulted by other “free thinkers”. So how about a deal – you can keep your “free thinking” and I’ll keep thinking God.

Since man has proven over and over that he cannot create out of nothing,he can just take what is already there and mix it up to make new things,Where did man get te idea that there is a God or Gods?you’ll say by the preachers etc.well here is my callenge:can you think of a NEW Primary colour?or,you can think of pink elephants,but pink already exists and elephants exist…where could even the first if men or preachers have gotten the idea of GOD?men cannot think of something that doesn’t already exist…
FY: Richard Dawkins talks about ‘the God delusion’ which is GREATLY disputed by John Lennox during their few debates. Go to YouTube and type in ‘Richard Dawkins vs. John Lennox’ and see for yourself. But, I assure you, ‘he’ll’ was supposed to be ‘hell.’ (:
Dear Kent ,I pray in every day evary night for you ,for be free ,but I think anyone which are Jesus Christ ,are free.
God bless you Kent and much health ,and your family ,and to all the brothers and all the sisters in Jesus Christ.
Brother Kent i just want to say thank you for opening my eyes about the dinosaurs. I was jumping with excitement when i saw your videos even the magic tricks, and I carry around with me on my phone images of your slides and show kids and explain the world is six thousand years old. You are still changing lives on the outside. Remember God is in control of everything, remember King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, God is in control, this is his-story. Hold fast to your faith. I’ll be praying for you and your family God Bless.

Dear Mr. Hovind,
As a brother in Christ I greet you and wish you the strength and courage you need to make it through the trial and troubles you are currently enduring.
I would like to ask two questions if I may of you. I understand that you personally may not have the ability to answer them, but perhaps someone from CSE will be kind enough to reply.
1 – I understand that part of the conditions of your sentence is that when released, you will not be allowed to preach for a period of time. What length of time is specified? What penalties might be imposed if you were to preach prior to that expiration?
2 – I am a believing Christian. However in your objections to the teaching of evolution you specify several definitions for evolution. The first refers to the Big Bang. If I am correct in characterizing your beliefs, you do not accept that the big bang occured. My understanding is that the big bang postulates that at first there was nothing. No matter, no time, no dimensions, no energy, no universal constants. Then, in one instant, everything in our universe came into being. One of the evidences for this creative event can be found in the background radiation levels as seen in our universe. I do not see the contradiction of this event, as observed, with the idea that God spoke, and nothing became everything. Science seems to be very good at describing the how did things happen, while the bible is very good at describing the why and who of the creation.
Could it be that God used the process or method of evolution to create the diversity we see around us? What would prevent God from using that method, should he have chosen to do so?
I thank you again for your teachings, I encourage you to remain true to the faith in Jesus Christ, and I wish you a rapid return to you family and freedom.
Dear Theophilous,
You need to get your hands on Dr Hovind’s 7 series teachings, which explains why God would not have used evolution to bring about creation.
The primary reason is that evolution goes backwards to the Bible. The Bible teaches that the sin of Adam brought death into the world (there was no death prior to sin – plants do not count in this matter as the Bible does not consider them to be alive. They whither, not die). Evolution, however, brings death before sin.
Just this contradiction alone makes evolution an unviable theory. If it doesn’t fit with the Bible it’s got to get chucked out. God’s Word must always come in before mans theories.

I just wanted to tell you that Dr. Danny Ben Gi Gi a professor of Hebrew stated that the translations from the original text have quite a few errors in our english Bible. Dr. Ben Gi Gi said that the scripture that says ” God said , let there be light.” did not say that in the original text but rather it said ” God said ” LIght be!” Dr Ben Gi Gi said there are about ten errors per page and it is due to the limitations of our english language. Hebrew is very rich explained Dr. Ben Gi Gi. He said that he did not think they did it on purpose but rather lacked the vocabulary nessisary to translate it completely. I believe Dr. Hovind’s findings because we have never seen any creature bring forth anything other than it’s kind and if you want the archeological proof watch Ron Wyatt ” banned proof the Bible is real ” on youtube. All the major events of the Bible have been found and documented. The evolutionist can kick, scream and lie all they want because it just makes them loose credibility in my eyes because they refuse to consider all the evidence. There are 8 parts to Ron Wyatts ” banned proof the Bible is real.” I pray you take the time to watch them all and consider the proof God left for all to see.
Dear brother Hovind,
I’m glad I can write to you. I’m Lidiya a 19-year-old girl from Ukraine and i am very glad you have Ukranian relatives, as much as i know. I don’t know if u can read this but i just now found this stuff in the internet and wanted to write u a letter a long time ago. Well, I’m a Pentecostal christian. i was very glad to watch your seminars and they helped me a lot in my conversations with athiests or other religion people. i want to write u a letter to where u are now and talk about some important things in christianity. i pray for u because i know you are in jail not as much as for tax payments as for your boldness about God and His Salvation. Talking about God real christians cannot skip such talks about the “mystery of iniquity”(2 Thes. 2:7). Unbelievers don’t like us because we are like a mirror for them in which they see themselves so sensless and weak for what they hate us. Also the devil wants to get rid of such Christians as you because we ruin his many plans. i was not surprised on hearing you are in jail because real Christians are followers of Christ and we see Paul put in prison for false stuff. They just wanted to get rid of him as of u too so they make up false accusations to look fair and honest in peoples’ eyes. there is nothing that happens without God’s will. i’m sure you have a God’s mission in jail too. i love Paul’s statements in 1 Phil.1:21, 1 Cor 9:16. God bless you! Mat. 5:10-16. Also Titus 3:9, Phil. 1:27, 2 Tim. 4:3-5,7-8.Don’t put your hands down!
At the prison in my town, to write to the prisoners I have to use an envelope with the stamp printed on it. Is that the case here, or can i just attach a regular stamp to an envelope?
You can attach a regular stamp, but do not include any stamps in the envelope.
I think it’s fairly obvious that Kent Hovind is locked away as an attempt to silence him. Christian or not, the evidence needs to be given to all people of all spiritual faith.
Hi.
If Dr. Hovind is allowed to blog is he able to receive email?
Kind regards
Christopher
He sends his blogs to the ministry, and we publish them for him.
One question.
so if there was a world wide flood, why/how are oceans salty but we have lakes and rivers that are not??
Hi Natalia,
You’re presuming that the oceans were always salty. It’s more the other way round. The oceans were closer to being fresh water at the time of the flood and became saltier over the years. Minerals and salt from rocks dissolve in the water but the salt itself is left behind when water is evaporated, leaving the sea saltier. Some lakes don’t have the mineral or salt content being washed into them, as is with the sea, which is why they remain fresh watered.
Hope this helped.
http://www.reachingoutministries.co.za
Firstly, I see that you have not done your research even before asking the question. Secondly, you haven’t taken any geology or limnology classes and thirdly, you haven’t watched Hovind’s seminars.
Before I reply to your question, I would dearly like to know how you have come to the conclusion that because there was a flood that the rivers should be salty? Let me explain:
1. Rivers flow down from the mountains. Right?
2. It snows in the mountains.
3. The snow melts… and ta-da! you have a river.
4. You may have noticed that snow is not salty?
Seriously, you can do a search on the internet and find out why the oceans are salty and rivers are not.
That’s all I’d be doing for you!
Watch te seminars again because e does speak about it
Lakes and rivers are fed by rainfall and drain to the oceans. There salt has LONG been washed out, in fact, to the salty oceans! It’s not a mystery.
Dr. Kent Hovind,
May God bless you! I really like your seminars. You are very good at explaining God’s creation. Best regards.
In Christ,
Nina

Liewe Johan,
Ek is so bly om te sien dat daar ander Suid Afrikaaners wat ook sterk teen die evolusie teorie is. Iemand het vir my Kent Hovind se 7 DVD reeks in 2006 gegee en die leerstellings daarin het my verstand weggeblaas.
Dis een ding om te weet dat iets verkeerd is, maar ‘n ander ding om uittevind hoekom dis verkeerd. Dit maak ‘n mens vry.
Miskien sal dit niks doen nie, maar ek wil graag ‘n brief vir die Minister van Basiese Onderwys skryf om te kla dat evolusie in ons skole geleer is. Suid Afrika het vir jare teen rassisme, in die vorm van Apartheid, geveg maar nou laat hulle evolusie by die skole in?!? Dis ‘n teorie wat rassisme aanmoedig. Partykeer wonder ek wat doen ons regering. Vir seker het hulle nie te hard oor hierdie gedink het nie.
Ek was ook baie ongelukkig toe hulle daai bene by the ‘Cradle van Mankind’ gevind het. My bloed het gekook om te sien hoe gelukkig mense was oor dit. Op televisie het mense gesê hoe trots ons moet wees om Suid Afrikaaners te wees dat hierdie bene in ons land geontdek was. Ek het ‘n paar e-posse vir SABC 2 en MNet gestuur, maar natuurlik het niemand my geantwoord nie.
Wees geseënde met die werk wat jy doen in Bloemfontein en al die beste.

I’m in Canada. I was wondering how I can be of maximum efficiency here on getting the lies out of our textbooks. Names,and contacts would be very much appreciated
Ben
.p.s. I will pray for your ministry, & do all I can up here in Canada
I am curious as to the reason they moved Dr. Hovind to NH. Also, did they fly him there, or drive?
I had the privilege of helping Eric move a “dinosaur” from his garage to a trailer in order to move it to the store. It was great spending time with him and his family. He is quite the busy guy!
They drove him. Unsure as to the ultimate reason for his move; but just praying the Lord’s will for him.
Dear CSE I believe though Im not 100% sure my guess is accurate. The reason for the Transfer. They would do this with all long term inmates. IS the fact some People do look for ways to break out and run. Via tunnels or back wall service ducts etc. So The reason for the transefer ever few years is to prevent long term inmates from finding an escape route to break out of Prison.

sorry the link is from another post i for got to delete it before commenting on this
We LOVE you Dr. Hovind, our hearts are with you as you are in prison, I only wish I could visit you. But for now our prayers and love towards you is all we can give right now.

Hello Dr. Hovind,
Love your videos. You have greatly influenced my family. We pray for you and your well-being. Thank you for all the work you have done. You are our go-to guy for inspiration, information, and creation. God bless you!
I was wondering if there was any way to contact him regarding his doctoral thesis. I would love to read a finished copy of it (I’ve heard that the one leaked online is not actually the final version). Is this a possibility at all? Thanks.
You would need to write him. Click on the “Contact Dr. Hovind” link at the top of the page for instructions on doing so.
he who will confess me before men him will i also confess before my father JESUS SAID.weather or not laws were broken i believe they are only trying to silence the good word BIBLE
How about having a “count down” counter on this website showing how many more days Dr. Hovind has left to serve in prison. Still wondering why Timothy Geitner didn’t get a prison sentence??
Dear mr Hovind,
How are you doing in your new environment? My name is Jeroen, 26 years old and I come from Holland. Me and my wife Ilse always enjoy your seminars.
A question: do you have internet access and will you read this message here at kenthovindblog.com? If not, I will write you a normal letter.
Each day you are blessed with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Peace,

Dear Brother Hovind,
Please know that you are continually in our prayers. We are sorry for the sacrifices you have had to make but it seems the tears of the saints water the ground for the Gospel. You continue to inspire us. Know that you are much loved and your sacrifices not forgotten. God has used you more than you will ever know. – the Mahoneys
hi Dr. Kent, family, and staff. in the last 3-4 years, i have become aware of the institutions and issues you confront. you are a great blessing, thank you for just being yourself, and doing what you do. sorry for your current hardship. satan no likey you? hang tough, bro, the King cometh. you and i gonna be rejoicing for eternity with our King Jesus. Jesus is gonna seat you at the front when He sees you at the feast. love ya all.
I have seen on many of your videos you will challenge anyone to your beliefs…. If you ever come to Australia challenge me.
my email is [email protected]
I hope you answer the challenge.
Good day Dr. Hovind
Firstly I would like to bless you, and thank you for the truth you have brought to me and my life. In my final year of school I started watching your videos and it made some of the biggest impacts on my life. Since then I have educated myself with the Word of God and I am a free man. Jesus is with you, and the angels are guarding you. I pray that God will deliver your from the wicked and that He will be glorified. You cannot imagine what HUGE impact you are making here in South Africa with your teachings and debates. We serve the only living God, and darkness shall be rooted out. Thank you Dr. Hovind you are a true man of God. All great men of Go were persecuted, but darkness never defeated them. For the sufferings of this time is not to be compared with what God has in store for us. Once again, thank you, and bless you, you are in my prayers.
Hi Innes,
Always great to “meet” other South Africans here. As I said to Johan above, I want to write a letter to the Minister of Education to complain against evolution being taught in our schools. South Africa struggled against racism and Apartheid for years and now the government is undoing all the work done to create equality by bringing in evolution. It’s a definite step back. I’m sure they must be ignorant (willingly or otherwise) to the fact that they’re actually allowing a teaching that blacks are considered inferior to whites.
Whether or not writing a letter will do anything, I feel it’s better than doing nothing at all (as Dr Hovind says, do something – whether it’s to shoot or carry bullets). If you and Johan would do the same then that’s at least 3 letters of complaint the minister will get, which is a start.
God bless.

Kent Hovind…. I would like to ask you if you think it might be possible that hydrogen shot up(Genesis 7:11) from under the Earth and mixed with the oxygen above Earth causing heavy rain for 40 days and 40 nights on Earth and less oxygen in the air for breathing… resulting in the average life span to gradually drop to what it is today and the Earth to become more filled with water?
You need to refer to Dr Hovind’s “Hovind Theory” for his answer on this. Dr Hovind believes (as do I) that a layer of ice was above the earths atmosphere, which was why the earth had a higher level of oxygen. At the time of the flood, the layer of ice was broken/damaged and it was probably this water which rained down.
We know that water shot up from under the earth from the subterranean water chambers, which was predominantly responsible for flooding the earth and where most of the water came from.

I have seen most of your videos on Creation Science evangelism Seminars, I admire your work and I use your videos as part of my reference. I almost memorized them… well maybe just parts. I was once an atheist and for some reasons I became a Christian. I had a thirst for Gods word and I read the King James Version(its all I had). During that time also, I’ve read the Bibles of Jehovas witness, I read all commentaries from different Church groups, I even read the Quoran. Now I collect Bibles from different denominations and religions.
Do you have a ministry in the Philippines? If non, can your friends put one up here(dinosaur adventure land)? I get your point regarding evolution being taught in school and I want to do it here. I dont know if I can influence the department of Education here to remove the lies in the textbook but i will try next year because i am in the Parents Teachers Association as (Public info officer). Public schools here should be non sectarian but the populace are catholic including the principal. I saw in your video that you mentioned someone who knows what to do, but that is for the US law.
Next year i will try to initiate Bible study in my sons school with the help of the Gideon guys here. I really dont know where to start… Im not a Baptist, im Born Again Christian but I digest what your teaching. My church says, my lessons are to deep for the members, im not a pastor just a wanna be, but I argue with priests and atheists also… and i use your stuff….
God Bless you and, 2015 is just around the corner….
Ken
Kent-
I own the 7 part DVD series and have infrequently followed your blog, websites, news on the tax troubles, and what your son has done with the baton since being passed a few years ago. I know that a lot of what you cover should be up in lights and that alot of items defintively show major errors in the theories of evolution.
As I am certain you can relate, I am frequently given choices in day to day life between staying quiet and avoiding conflict or doing what is right and speaking up to address the concerns directly. Admittedly, I have put my foot in my mouth more than I should have in my younger years. I’ve stated things that had impacts on people that I did not intend. And I have made premature assumptions that proved in the end to be incorrect or misguided. A lot of times, statements made were completely true and accurate but the message didn’t register to the recipient because of the way it was delivered. If you have a diamond ring to give to someone, you shouldnt wrap it in a stained and soiled cloth.
Being open, honest, and passionate is not a fire that I would quench in any soldier in Christ, however, after a lot of learning life’s lessons the hard way- I have found that restraint and a careful selection of words should be a self regulation of anyone representing Christians.
I felt led to share with you some constructive criticism which I am hopeful that you will take as someone who cares enough to say the tough things that need to be said and not someone who is simply criticizing for criticism’s sake.
It is always going to come across as being on the offensive when anyone uses the terms “You do this” and “you come across like that” so hopefully you can look past that if those items are alluded to here and just focus on the different perceptions of others that I am trying to convey. If we assume that everyone that doesn’t receive the message we deliver as it is delivered as scoffers and willingly ignorant, then we are selling ourselves, our mission, and our God short. We must try any and all methods to reach people, especially when it means humbling oneself and putting our passion to the backburner with a focus towards how the message is being presented.
I have always lived by a few different guidelines pertaining to ones outward perception given to others. Perhaps the two most influential ones that I certainly did not make up myself but really gravitate to are as follows:
Even if you are the smartest person in the room, there isn’t a need to continually prove it. By illustrating how smart or logical you are or how simplistic a concept is, or how illogical the opposing viewpoint is and/or how some people are idiots / morons / stupid / etc- the only thing being accomplished is the alienation of oneself from most of the audience. For every person saying Amen to these types of comments being made there are 5 others thinking about how arrogant, conceited, full of themselves, etc that one sounds like in the message delivery. I’ve always felt one of the bigger misses of today’s church is continually reaching out to folks that already agree with the concepts being laid out. It’s the folks that are unsure or have doubts and are there with an open heart and open mind that we really need to be after. Stories about how dumb people are, how unwilling they are to be objective, or how emotional they get in debates only makes one look like they view themselves as superior and anyone that opposes is an idiot. Not going to win a lot of “on the fence” folks with that perception.
It is better to be quiet and thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. As I mentioned above, passion and intelligence often times get in the way of the actual message. Folks will miss valid points brought into light if they latch onto statements that are either “hot buttons” (politics, laws, captialism, demoninational differnces to name a few) or items that they can research and able to refute. Making negative comments about different science programs, public education, the government, stubborn evolutionists, etc can often times backfire and put ones credibility and integrity in the warning zone. When that happens, the message is completely lost even if it contains many more accurate facts than not. In other words, pick and choose the content very carefully and after very thorough research. If there are opposing viewpoints that could cast reasonable doubt, present them with it in an unbiased fashion.
I don’t think that one can objectively see what others perceive of them without having specific examples. In the interest of trying to keep this communication from being a novel, examples of what I reference above will not be given but I challenge you to either view past presentations and/or read transcripts of them. In the event you are interested in my viewpoints on items that come across in these ways with suggestions on different ways of presenting the information, let me know. I can only assume that you will most likely not agree with most if not all of this or are interested in continuing this conversation any further than this letter. (heck you probably stopped reading this less than 1/4 of the way into it). If that isn’t the case and you would like additional and more specific feedback, I am willing. Like I said, I felt like God was tugging at me to communicate this to you so I followed his lead and did so in the best way I knew how.
I do enjoy most of the content given in your teachings and it has lead me to do my own research so that I can best manage my children’s world view. And for that I am very thankful to you, your family, and your ministry.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Slate
Norwalk, IA
Hi im15 years old and I wanted to tell mr Hovind I admire his ideas on evlution and agree that evolution is just a great hoax,but any way mr Hovand seems like a nice man and I’d be happy to have someone please explain why he is in prison ?
But I beleive in god and so does he and I am proud that he not only gives good ideas but gives good facts to back them up and I myself I guess you could say was a evolutionist but thanks to him have converted to a creationist and have become stronger in my faith. Mr Hovand seem like a nice man and I hope to see him in heavan
I’ll pray for you mr. Hovind and sorry about my spelling misstakes
Hi, um…Mr. Hovind, I guess. This is a very poorly written, most likely confusing jumble of ideas, an anecdote, etc…
I’m currently in ninth grade and Biology. After I watched your videos on YouTube, I have to say, it IS fun to tell people why they’re wrong and tell them the truth.
I know I should probably respect authority more and try not to get in as many debates as I do with my science teacher, but I just hate sitting there while he teaches this religion called “evolution” as fact. When I told him how old the earth really is and some proof, he came back at me with, “Well, if the earth is really that young, and it takes ____ long for light to reach us from the stars, how come _____” (I’m so sorry I forgot exactly what he said, now I don’t even remember what he was asking… something about how we have light…no, about how we can see stars that are so far away today…I don’t know how any of those make sense, maybe it was just a stupid question…) and I said “The Light was here before the planets and the stars were created.”
Now, I don’t know how accurately I “pwned” him, if I did at all, but he turned and started talking to another person. He usually does this when I try to ask questions, though, so I wasn’t surprised…
Anyway, I pray you get out of there soon and are able to continue improving your ministry, theme park, etc.
Random thought: what I wouldn’t give to show my school one of you videos…
P.S. did you know your name spell-checks to Houdini?
Though I doubt “escape” is your best option to get out by :\ Like I said, praying for you!
Keep up the good work Aidan. I have no doubt your science teacher gets frustrated by you purely because you refuse to accept a lie.
As long as you’re not just getting into debates to be argumentative then I say keep up the good work. You can be sure that some of your class mates are listening and are taking interest in what you say. Speaking out against evolution could very well lead some of them to Christ.
And don’t let your teacher let you think that he knows better because you’re a teen and he’s an adult. My son does the same as you in his school and I’m so proud of him.
You are an inspiration!!!
http://www.reachingoutministries.co.za
Hi Aidan, I am born again in Christ and i can truly say that what you said to your teacher was correct although i do think most of them know in their hearts that what they teach are in fact not truth. God is the Light of the World and yes He has been around before time and the creation, and He can easily have created it the way He wants. Spot on! keep studying the Bible and searching His face! 2Peter 3:15

Sometimes, when i talk to people about God, they say me in response ‘Trere are so many religions all over the world. And they all say that they are the trully one. So how can you say that the Bible is the only true? Proove us. Why would I believe you?’
Can you give me some advice how to answer such questions?
In Christ,
Mariya.
Hi ther Mariya
I was just reading a few posts and pray the Holy Spirit lead you in reading this.
There are a few simple ways to research on the web about how all the religions except the Word of God through Jesus Christ all originated from hell, all other religions has the signature of sun god worship. Look it up its there. Look into other religions and even the catholic churches and see all the sun god worship. Look into secular history and you will find that all the prophecy about Jesus has come true, not only in the bible, but history. The Bible is the only holy book where this has happened.
Also use this verse of Jesus in John chapter 14
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way,the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father but by me
If possible try and see if you can get hold of the dvd’s by Mark Woodman explaining a lot of this. He was a man that turned his back on Jesus until he saw that the Bible is the only truth as he looked into all other riligions.
I really hope this can help you somewhat but believe me as a believer in Jesus Christ, there is no other riligion that the Gospel of Jesus.
Marya,

I have a question for kent or someone else that may know the answer about stars and their light. I just thought of this and I would like it to be explained to me a little if you know the answer. Take a star that’s 100 light years away from us. I don’t get how if it took the light 100 years to get to the earth. And in the mean time the earths has been moving all over the place and the galaxy is moving. How on earth could you measure how far something is away with the earth moving and the stars moving and all thes other factors. And how does light behave when it’s moving and where your viewing the light your moving?
Dr Hovind explains the determining of the distance of the stars and galaxy’s on disc 7 of his DVD series. Due to the small diameter we have to work with, distance can only be worked out to a few thousand kilometers. Thereafter it all becomes a thumb-suck.
Since I came across Dr Hovind’s teachings I’m no longer impressed when told that stars and galaxies are “millions” or “hundreds of millions light years away”. I think that scientists just like to try impress us with large numbers. We like extra zeros on our salaries so they think that translate to science too.

Dear Kent,
i greatly appreciate your work and I personally benefited from it. Much of the material you have been covering was hard to fish out from under the lies that cover it.
I’m about 3 hrs from Berlin, NH. I wonder if Kent would welcome visitors. I have a great deal of respect for him, and I think a visit would enrich my life, and possibly encourage him.
Dr. Kent Hovind,
Sir,
I have watched your videos many of times. I just don’t understand why people don’t accept science as observable and repeatable. I have been a Christian for a little more than a year now. I’m being discipled and am constantly learning and preparing for discipling. I truly pray for you and I want to thank you for helping me. “science” how the schools teach it never stuck with me and I think I know why, I am 23 years old and I understand a lot now. I just want to thank you for your enthusiasm for God.
God Bless.
I hope and trust 2013 is a good year for you and your family and may the Lord give you peace and joy in every situation. I truly hope it is in the Lord’s will to have you released soon have been praying for your release for years now, I have watched so many of your series and keep watching them yearly, I am married and now have two daughters they are growing up with you teaching them in the evenings, your work is continuing even though you are not traveling everywhere in person the Lord is still using your work to his glory every single day. I even sent Your DVDs to Canada cannot tell you how many sets we have sent to people best DVDs ever, we as a family started sending your VHS tapes out for years before DVDs came out. Mr Kent Hovind we know the Lord will use all this to His glory we know He is making a great cake but this salt and individual ingredients is not great at present but I know He loves you and your family and He will use everything that is bad now to His glory, praying for you and your family and cannot tell you how much your series has meant to me and my fam and all our friends and so many more people here in South Africa. Thanks and trust you will be keep shining your light till Jesus comes. Have been keeping track of everything happening to you since before the troubles began and wish you did not have to go through any of it and it hurts us to watch your DVDs and to know you are going through difficult times but we know God is bigger than anything anyone can do to us; you belong to Jesus Christ and soon and very soon we will spend eternity with Christ and our other brothers and sisters in Christ what a wonderful time that will be and it is not far away. All the best and love and peace be multiplied to you, your wife and children.
Dear br. Kent! I greet you with love of our Lord Jesus Christ! Heartily congratulate you on sixtieth anniversary! I wish you the joy in God, the power of Holy Spirit, the firmness in sufferings for name of Christ!
I met with you by way of video seminars about creation, evolution and dinosaurs, which you conducted in 1999 – 2000 years. Also I looked your separate seminars, as, for example, about Leviathan. Me to the innermost of one’s the heart your words touched about a clean heart, and I cried, I had prayed to God, that He clean my heart. Also and at the end of every seminar, where you call to confession, the abundance of Divine’s plenty is felt in your words. I do not know the best evangelist, than you.
I was very surprised that after your arrest almost no one applied for your release. But millions of people have seen and heard your seminars. And in this hard time almost all of people have left you, as apostle Paul said in 2 Tim. 1: 15 and 2 Tim. 4: 16: “all left me,” but God has not left him.
Your ministry is veritable and effective in the matter of saving souls.God and One’s children bless you!
With Love of God, Ivan Korobko from Ukraine.
My husband and I were watching one of Dr. Hovind’s videos today and we both wondered the same thing “Joe” asked:
Does Kent welcome visitors, or can he have visitors?
We too, are only about 3 hrs from Berlin, NH and would be so blessed to meet him, pray with and thank him for his ministry.
I was so glad to learn from your blog that you have embraced the Prewrath position. I pray that God will release you soon so that you can warn people about the time of trouble that is coming. Of course I pray for your release period. Thanks for all you have taught for so many years.

Does Kent currently have his limit of 5 books? If he is booked up, would a CSE moderator be kind enough to email the name of one of Kent’s friends who could use an extra book or two, so they can trade with him later? Can books be delivered directly from the retailer to the prison? Thanks in advance.
We are not kept up to date on the number of books he has. It is best they be sent from the retailer.
Dr Hovind ; I have seen your video series, and in my opinion
what you present as fact is nothing but Lies, Half Truths,
Propaganga, Out Dated Information, Distortions, Smoke And Mirrors, and Bait and Switch. you should be ashamed of yourself for presenting such garbage as truth.
P.S. i saw your debate with Richard Dawkins and he unquestionably won. Sincerly Yours Howard Palys
have you seen Bill Nye come against creationism ? It is all over youtube! I say you challange him to a debate !
Blessings to all the Hovind family. You have blessed and touched many lives through your Ministry and I just pray that you all continue in your faithful walk through these dark times.
What does anyone make of the story: ‘Just hours after the Pope resigned from papacy lightning strikes St. Peter’s Basilica’ ?
What happened to this blog? Why is there no activity or entries from anyone. Is Mr. Hovind released? It is March 17,2013!
I have found that the more you defend God…the more you will be ostrisized in the world.
Remember be in the world but NOT of the world.
They will have you for my names sake.
Basically, when you do what God wants – you will be persecuted.
Remember the Bible says that a prophet is not welcome in his own home.
Many Christians who focus on the tax issue are missing the point. Paul, Peter, Jesus, and many others were not just thrown in jail but they were killed.
Based on some of the things I have read in regards to your jailing, by Christians, they would also have bad mouthed Paul, Peter, and Jesus as well……kind of like the Pharisees and scoffers during the time of Jesus.
The more I read about your problems, the more I realize that you are doing Gods work.
I have been listening to you and watching you since 2000 in Los Angeles.
I tell people about you all the time and utilize your work as my foundation.
God wishes that none would be lost, no not one. So, I pray for these people as well…because their awakening will be a very sad and somber one when they finally realize they were ever so wrong.
We must ALL be stepping stones and NOT stumbling blocks.
For we will answer to God… when He asks what did WE do for His name’s sake – What will each of our answers be?
Me personally, I have to take a deeper look at myself and realize that I have been a stumbling block for too many times in my life.
Anyway, I would love love love to be part of your organization and am going to write you a letter personally to find out if I can join your CSE as a speaker.
Thank you and God bless.

Hello everybody… I want to write a letter to Kent, but I am from Russia and I cannot so clear understant, how shall I write this adress on a letterbox… Can anybody help me? I will be very glad to receive your letters… [email protected]
Thank you for your ministry, we have been blessed because of your videos. Please give us an update since the move. God bless you and your family.
Hi,
I sent you a postcard from Holland two weeks ago. It was addressed to your Jessup prison address. Did you receive it? Regards and God bless you.
Brother Kent, here in Port Macquarie N.S.W. we often listen to your lectures and commit you in prayer to the Lord for encouragement and release soon. Thanks to Creation ministries like yours I have finally seen thru the flaws of unbiblical teaching e.g. Gap Theory and have committed myself to doing what I can to negate the lies, seeing the confusion in public school students that I have the privilege of teaching Scripture to. I hope that helps, my friend.

Dear Mr Hovind.
I am grateful for your ministry. I have been watching the TV broadcasts of your talks from several years ago. I am praying for you and your family all the time. God bless you for the wonderful work you have done, and will continue to do!
Dear Mr. Hovind,
I am a young earth creationist and your videos as well as others from people such as Ken Ham, Dr. Patton, and Billy Crone. I would like you to watch the video Flintstones Archaeology because it raises some interesting points, and theories about how evidences for man and dinosaur co-existence can be shown to be false. The video did not convince me to renounce creationism because there is so much other evidence, but I am questioning these evidences of man and dinosaur co-existence. If you receive this comment and watch the video, I would really appreciate an e-mail back about the truthfulness or falsitity of the video. My address is [email protected].
Thanks,
Austin S.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5kckGxwJr4 is the link to the video.
Dr Hovind, please read Matthew 5. And remember that God is with you.
Dear Kent: I am writing from Buenos Aires, Argentina. A month ago we were blessed with a new argentinian Pope Francesco the First. One year I started to see your seminars on creationism while searching the historical debate between philosopher Bertrand Russell and Bishop Copleston. In my daily job I see a lot of atheism among my colleagues and sad to see how a false gap remains open between faith and science.
I hope Catholics will be influenced by your enthusiasm in defending the Holy Scriptures until the last consequences, as did Francesco of Assisi.
I’ll be praying for your welfare and your early release!
Axel Fauth, psychiatrist.
Dear Brother Hovind~
I am writing you to just remind you of what an encouragement that you’ve been to me and to all the other girls who attended Victory Christian Academy. I am 31 now and had been at least 10 years since I went there, but I still appreciate your ministry and how it grew my faith even today!
I hope and pray that your family really is doing well and Blesses the Creation Ministry. Please keep the FAITH and remember that there is a whole new generation of people who need the kind of messages that build our faith.
Sincerely,
Sister in Christ,
Jessica Potter >
My husband started the jail ministry in our church and I went with him so I know what it is like on the inside. I hope you have access to materials to keep learning more and to avoid boredom.
Hi Kent,
Praying for your quick release. That will be a great day! Your ministry is timely. The devil is resisting but he can never win.
Dear Brother in Christ Kent Hovind,
I’m from Brazil. I am a Christian. I am 10 years old.
I like your videos creationists. I learn a lot from them.
I pray to the Lord for your life and your freedom.
May God bless you and your family.
Always remember to Romans 8:28
