I greeted the materialization of pre-suppositional apologetics with glee. Creationists might as well have shouted it from the roof tops that they have been routed on every argument they have put forward to date, and so they are now reduced to this grotesquely unconvincing and childish argument that if they start with the presumption that god exists, then god exists.
Thunderf00t on Eric Hovind[1]

Eric Hovind is the son of convicted tax-dodger and creationist wingnut Kent Hovind. Since his father's imprisonment, Eric has taken over the running of his ministries. Despite having a slightly less annoying voice he's every bit as insane. He also shares his father's penchant for money-grabbing, but apparently not his stamina. Instead of Kent's rambling seminars, Eric treats you to 60-second-spots adorned with lavish CGI effects at the low, low price of only $9.95 per episode. [2] Hey, someone's got to pay off all those tax debts. Recently Hovind has decided to spread the Word to the atheistic liberal masses on YouTube, dispensing free nuggets of wisdom through his Creation Today series.

Creationism

According to PZ Myers Hovind insists that evolution is just a hypothesis and ignores the vast amount of published material confirming evolution. Alternatively Myers suspects Hovind is ignorant of the published data confirming evolution. Like his father Eric Hovind produces inept Young Earth Creationist arguments including Noah's flood.

Thunderf00t

In March 2012, Eric Hovind publicly debated Thunderf00t at Reason Rally for almost an hour, the video of this became popular on Youtube[3]. Eric argued that complete certainty is preferable (in the case of religion) and partially argued the straw man that atheists pretend complete certainty. However many times a point was explained he kept repeating, ‘but you can’t be sure about it’. Can Eric Hovind be sure about God?

Racism and hypocrisy

PZ Myers and others accuse Eric Hovind of racism and Myers also accuses Hovind of using false statistics to vilify immigrants. Hovind is further accused of republishing a grossly racist poem that also appeared on the Stormfront website.[4][5] Later when he got into trouble over racism Hovind tried to deny it and accused the evolutionists of racism. Hovind now tells us that as a Christian he believes "all people are originally of one nation and one blood." [6]

Godonomics

It's not your money, it's God's money. Hovind got involved with something called Godonomics that means among other stuff that Hovind thinks it's wrong for governments to tax the rich- keep in mind his father is still in jail for tax evasion. It's little more than rehashed supply side economics.[7][8]
