Dr.Hovind’s $250,000 OfferOffered Since 1990–Increased from $10,000 in 1999Ihaveastandingofferof$250,000toanyonewhocangiveanyempirical evidence (scientific proof) for evolution.* My $250,000offerdemonstratesthatthehypothesisofevolutionisnothingmorethanaman-made beliefsystem(religion).*NOTE:When Iuse the wordevolution, Iam not referringto the minor variations foundin all of the various life forms(microevolution). Iamreferring to the general theoryof evolution which believesthese five major events tookplace without God:! 1. Time, space, and mattercame into existence bythemselves.! 2. Planets and stars formedfrom space dust.! 3. Matter created life byitself.! 4. Early life forms learnedto reproduce themselves.! 5. Major changes occurredbetween these diverse lifeforms (i.e., fish changed toamphibians, amphibianschanged to reptiles, andreptiles changed to birds ormammals).Observedphenomena:Mostthinkingpeoplewillagreethat:1.

Thereareatleastsixdifferent and unrelated meanings to the word “evolution.”Studentsaredeceivedintothinkingallsixtypesofevolutionbelowhave been proven because evidence is given for minor variationscalledMicroevolution.1. Cosmic evolution—the origin of time, space, and matter.Big Bang.2. Chemical evolution—the origin of higher elements fromhydrogen.3. Stellar and planetary evolution—Origin of stars andplanets.4. Organic evolution—Origin of life from inanimate matter.5. Macroevolution—Changing from one kind into another.6. Microevolution—Variations within kinds. Only this onehas been observed.This deception is aclassic bait and switch. One definition ofevolution (decent with modification) is given, and the others areassumed to be true by association. The first five meanings arebelieved by faith and are religious. Only the last one is scientific.Dr. Kent Hovind • office (850) 479-DINO (3466) •Fax 479-8562 6
