And take at look at their so-called “annual report”, which doesn’t read like an annual report so much as a rant (note that this will open as a Word document, not HTML). You’ll notice in the so-called comments that have been culled from a so-called survey that there are similar punctuational and grammatical errors and stylistic infelicities that really make you think they were all written by the same person. It’s a hoot. Get the wonderful ellipsis on “it is no wonder our youth are binge drinking………………this is a revolutionary scheme”. Yes, eighteen dots for an ellipsis that requires only three. Delight in the many spaces between sentences (often between words within a sentence), and be enraptured by the syntactical disagreements between sentence elements (perhaps English isn’t the first language of the writer, in which case perhaps they should have got an English writer to write the copy, since, like, er, it’s in English; but it is “signed” by a trustee called Peter Jones, CEng, BSc, and CEng (or chartered engineer) is, as far as I can make out, a British qualification, though I may be wrong).

And to think they are setting themselves up as some sort of educational facility – not that they’re claiming to be teaching English, I know, but their lack of proficiency in the basics makes you wonder how fit they would be to pass on knowledge of any description. Perhaps, I thought optimistically, this will show them up and their “science” will fall with their crummy English in people’s minds; but, then again, mused I, standards are so crap generally these days that few will notice the difference.

He is currently serving a ten-year jail sentence in South Carolina, for 58 tax offences, obstructing federal agents and related charges. He was convicted in January, 2007.

An American Young Earth creationist, who became a born-again Christian at the Age of 15, he is most famous for creation science seminars, which aim to convince listeners to believe in biblical creation and to reject evolution.

In 2001 Hovind started Dinosaur Adventure Land, a young earth creationist theme park located behind Hovind’s home in Pensacola, Florida. The park depicts humans and dinosaurs co-existing in the last 4,000-6,000 years and also contains a depiction of the Loch Ness monster.

In 2004 the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry visited Hovind’s dinosaur theme park and said that the park was deceptive and purposely misled visitors

The Southern Poverty Law Centre noted the park also “claims that a few small dinosaurs still roam the planet.”

Hovind once allowed himself to be interviewed on TV by Ali G, played by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. He was less than amused to be told by Ali G that, because he ate bananas, he was clearly descended from monkeys. You can see the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjKMhtyI3L8

Looks like a fairly innocuous petting zoo type place, but several parents have got caught out only realising their religious extremism once arriving at the park. Even the website looks “normal” until you click the education tab and scan down the headings on the left.

Actually, I have no problems with the existence of such places, or of specialist children’s programs (on dedicated god channels). What I SERIOUSLY object to is them not declaring it openly and making it out to be “educational” particularly referencing science curriculum material. I would be extremely unhappy if my child’s school took them on a daytrip to that zoo under the guise of an educational visit.

On the contrary, pillocks are at liberty to espouse and propagate their pillocky opinions, provided they do so at their own expense. That is as it should be.

But if they start demanding public money to do so, then they will quite rightly find their pillock-brained ideas in the firing line.

As the evolution/creation “debate” was pretty much settled over a century ago, and the evidence for evolution has accumulated exponentially since then, you would certainly have to be a pillock to continue to espouse the “talking snake hypothesis” of human origins.

And who but a pillock would insist that the opinions of a pillock deserve respect?
