[[Image:Kent Hovind.jpg|thumb|right|Kent Hovind]]
'''Kent E. Hovind ''' (born January 15, 1953) is a Pensacola-based evangelist and prominent "Young Earth" creationist who operated the now-defunct [[Dinosaur Adventure Land]] from his property near adjacent to [[Pensacola Christian Academy]]. He famously offered $250,000 to anyone who can prove that evolution "is the only possible way" the universe and life arose, although his numerous critics consider the challenge to be spurious because evolutionary theory has nothing to say about how the universe came about or how life began. The self-styled "'''Dr. Dino'''" (whose Ph.D, from an unaccredited university, is in [[Christian education) established the [[Creation Science Evangelism Ministry]] in 1989. Hovind now speaks frequently in schools, churches, university debates and on radio and television broadcasts, and is the subject of controversy and public scrutiny. He is currently charged with 58 federal crimes, including separate counts of making threats against federal officials, filing false complaints and tax evasion.
