> [@iampunha](#): > > Cite? Not that I don’t trust you, just that “Well, **Mangetout** said it, and that’s good enough for me!” does not exactly slay the opposition in casual (or not so casual) conversation;) Just google the terms ‘fraudulent’ and ‘televangelist’ - you’ll find _something_, I’m sure. Closer to topic though, I’m sure there was a case a while back where a creationist organisation (on a par with AiG or ICR) was making overblown promises about some museum or theme park, which seemed to be a fund-raising scam, but I can’t recall the details. ---

Hey Frodo! Come over here and give Mr. **Sauron** his ring back. I think he’s shown he can be trusted to only use it for good! ---

**Sauron** you should write the flyers for Dinosaur Adventure Land. 🆒 ---

> [@gobear](#): > > That’s not a theme park; it’s just a playground. Theme parks have roller coasters and log flume rides; they have food courts and musical revues. Hovind’s joint has rope ladders and see-saws, sure to be a crushing disappointment for any eager young Christian who is expecting to visit a Jesusified Disneyland. In Hovind’s defense (now, _there’s_ something I never thought I’d write), it does seem like a pretty fun playground. The creationist propaganda sounds annoying, but you wouldn’t _have_ to read it, and that trampoline thing sounds fun. Heck, I’d go to this thing. ---

Would it matter if [this thing is in his backyard](http://appvs1.tf.cs.fiu.edu/launch.5.05/terrafly.asp?qra=63%2E71%2E228%2E3&dt=37851.08&street=5800+n+palafox+st&city=pensacola&state=fl&zip=)? That link goes to a satellite view of the neighborhood, centered near 5800 N. Palafox. Zoom all the way in and his house is visible on the next street over, due east of the crosshairs.
