No, I'm not lying. I wish I was.
Check it out here. (http://www2.drdino.com/CreationBootCamp/index.htm)
Dr. Kent Hovind will be among the speakers.
Dr. Kent Hovind, a high school science teacher for 15 years, is now considered one of the foremost authorities on "Science and the Bible." He will be speaking about "Lies in the textbooks," "Dinosaurs and the Bible," and "Why evolution is stupid."
I don't what I love more there, the quotations around "Science and the Bible", the grammatical errors, or "Why evolution is stupid."
Seriously, while much of it's under construction, check it out.
(For added irony, I got this from the Tuesday Morning Quarterback column on NFL.com)

Notice, if you will, the inclusion of "Dr." Hovind's principal as another prominent speaker. I can understand how he can be so vehement if his school wasn't there to provide an authoritative voice on an alternate point of view. If no one you ever trusted told you about something that immediately smacks as contrary to everything that the people you did trust ever told you, I can't say I would easily convert either.
Question on the philosophical angle: "Can our previous experiences preclude (in a real sense... in other words you are literally incapable of) some conclusions that could otherwise be reached by others using critical thinking?"

It's just another Kent Hovind attempt at money-spinning. Careful examination shows that it is being held at his own personal tax-avoidance scheme and fantasy-world - Dinoland!
I note also that "Dr" Carl Baugh, of Glen Rose Canyon fame, is going to speak twice. Given that this "extravaganza" will last all of two days and that "Dr" Hovind will warble on a few times too, it looks like any paying seminarians will be treated to the very "best" there is to offer in creationist nut-jobbery. If they pay, they get all they deserve...

Dr. Dennis Swift, expert on ancient civilizations and the Ica stones of Peru showing man and dinosaurs together
Shouldn't that be "Inca stones" and are these the same Inca stones James Randi debunked quite thoroughly in "Flim Flam!" many years ago?
Apparently this Doctore Swift just isn't too...er...swift. ;)

Is it's ID? I was listening to a Xtian radio station yesterday just to see what they had to say about atheists (like me), and they had someone on there promoting ID. Sure, he mentioned one axiom that both sides need to have some basic principle they agree on and start from there, but he did pretty much admit that ID is ONLY so that those 'atheist' darwinians can brought into believing Creation. He certainly avoided saying that strict Creationists should rather believe in ID.
I love it when ID creationists junk their supposedly non-biased 'science' in their own sentences.
