Full text of AOL Instant Message sent to Kent Hovind on air during the 1 April 2005 broadcast on the Creation Science Hour on truthradio.com
| Hello Kent Regarding your claim that the mammoth known as Baby Dima was included in Geological Survey Professional Paper 862 - which is a physical impossibility - in your defence [sic] you claimed you had simply misplaced a citation. I put it to you that you did not misplace a citation rather you plagiarized the text directly from Walt Brown - including the wrong citation. I put it to you that you did not read the primary literature despite implying that that you did. You also did not credit your secondary source. In short, you attempted to pass the work of Walt Brown off as your own. Do you consider this to be appropriate behavior for a holder of a PhD? Carl Marychurch |
