He was ultimately convicted of stealing millions from his own ministry in an attempt to avoid taxation.

Atheists love to crow about the ineptitude of "creationists" like Hovind.

I never heard of the guy until today. Now that you tell this, I think you've mentioned him before. Wow.
However, that doesn't necessarily negate his points, as coadie pointed out. The legitimacy of an argument doesn't rest on the morality of its proponets. Yet the Hovind fraud is a terrible slight for ALL christians, whether creationists or "theistic evolutionists".
