Like other forms of Young Earth Creationism, the "Hovind Theory" is rejected by the vast majority of the 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 employ various techniques to advance the Hovind Theory. The phrase "evolution" is used as a catch-all phrase for any scientific knowledge that conflicts with a literal six-day creation, including theories of [[Wikipedia:abiogenesis|abiogenesis]] and disciplines such as geology, chemistry and cosmology. Scientific viewpoints are misrepresented, often by citing a variety of debunked hoxes and obsolete theories (like [[Wikipedia:Piltdown Man|Piltdown Man]] and Haeckel's [[Wikipedia:recapitulation theory|recapitulation theory]]) as currently acceptedby the scientific community.
