Remember Kent Hovind? The creationist who went to jail for cheating on taxes?

Heeeeeee's BACK!!!

New creationist theme park claims dinosaurs were actually 900-year-old lizards that ‘never stopped growing’

A new creationist theme park in Lenox, Alabama is run by a Baptist preacher who believes that dinosaurs only grew so large because they were lizards who lived for 900 years and never stopped growing.

In an interview with AL.com, creationist Kent Hovind explains how his new theme park, called Dinosaur Adventure Land, will teach young people about his own scientifically illiterate theories about the existence of dinosaurs.

“It’s very simple,” he tells AL.com. “Before the flood came, in the days of Noah, the Bible says that people lived to be 900 years old. Genesis Chapter 5 tells us that. Well, I taught biology and reptiles never stop growing. What would happen to a reptile if he could live to be 900? That’s the dinosaurs. No big mystery.”

Thanks for the URL.

That creationist reminds me of one at the old Fidonet, an Austrailian "christian" who wouldn't know real science if it smacked him in the behind.
