→Scientific Proficiency: There’s no such thing as the “evolution community.” Changed it to the scientific community.
===Scientific Proficiency===
Like other forms of Young Earth Creationism, the "Hovind Theory" is rejected by the vast majority of the evolution scientific community.<ref>[http://www.religioustolerance.org/ev_publi.htm poll] by the Gallup organization</ref><ref>[http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/index.php?command=view&id=1393 Project Steve - Establishing the Obvious] William Dembski, Discovery Institute.</ref> It has also been condemned by fellow Young Earth Creationists.<ref>[http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/hovind/howgood.html TalkOrigins] on Kent Hovind</ref><ref name="Hovindtheory">{{cite web|url=http://www.kent-hovind.com/theory.htm|title=The Hovind Theory|date=2002|publisher=Kent Hovind.com}}</ref><ref>[http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/2571/ Creation Ministries International criticism of Hovind]</ref>
The exhibits and tour guides at Dinosaur Adventure Land teach the Hovind Theory. The phrase "evolution" is used as a catch-all phrase for many theories that conflict with a literal six-day creation. True scientific viewpoints are encouraged where there are testable hypotheses. This is different from what evolutionists endorse. Kent teaches science from a perspective of observation and testable hypotheses from which we can derive facts. Evolutionary thought teaches that theory comes first and then one day we may have a testable fact.
