Kent E. Hovind (born January 15, 1953) is an American Christian fundamentalist evangelist and tax protester. His young Earth creationist ministry focuses on denial of scientific theories in the fields of biology (evolution and abiogenesis), geophysics, and cosmology in favor of a literalist interpretation of the Genesis creation narrative found in the Bible. Hovind's views, which combine elements of creation science and conspiracy theory, are dismissed by the scientific community as fringe theory and pseudo-scholarship. Read more on Wikipedia
