Why do you think the Wikipedia page on Ken Hovind is relatively huge for someone who is relatively unknown and unheard of by the vast majority of the American public? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_Hovind .
As you can see, he clocks in with 179 references. His page is bigger than various historical and contemporary individuals who you might well think would rate much bigger (at least bigger than Hovind) entries on Wikipedia. By a quick comparison you could click on some of the people over at Fox News, for example. They are found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News#Program_hosts.
I think you will be amazed at the difference in coverage between someone like Hovind and many other public figures. I know of no one who is so relatively unknown as Hovind who has anywhere near such a big entry on Wikipedia.
What was it about Ken Hovind that drove Wikipedia to smear and try to utterly destroy his reputation to the extent they have done? A big clue (if not most of the answer itself) I think can be found in not only why it did that but also why the legal system treated him so harshly in watching what he was doing so effectively before he went to prison:

Good video to watch if you're a parent considering sending your son or daughter to Berkeley (or any other secular college).

Evolutionism Loses Berkeley Debate - 160 Professors Defeat bye Creation Scientist[color=var(--yt-primary-text-color)]
In this video, Kent Hovind defeated 160 college professors who believe in the religion of Evolutionism. They all chickened out and threw in the towel and gave up with out a fight. Instead, a bunch of brainwashed college students show up to try to take on God's Truth and defend the devil's lie. These kids are so obviously brainwashed it's not even funny, and goes further to discredit these false pseudo-science teachings than even Kent's arguments. They repeatedly get up and make fools of themselves and are unable to see the basic irrationality and sheer stupidity of the arguments they are making even as Doctor Hovind tries to make it plain to them. Just as I was about to get lost in the sheer ridiculousness of their illogical reasoning, I found myself realizing I have now seen the face of those who make slanderous and malicious attacks in their comments on my very own You Tube Channel here, seemingly thinking they have won the arguing without presenting an argument, but simply by bullying ridiculing and name calling, which is, of course, irrational.

This was a really hard video to watch because it reminded me of what I used to think. I now know I was brainwashed into blindly believing evolution is fact. I was a full blown atheist who would have been right up there fighting Dr. Hovind. I thank God everyday for opening my eyes. It took a lot of questioning and eventually I broke down and asked God for help and He sent me my fiancee and completely opened my eyes to the truth. A few years ago I would NEVER have thought I would have changed my mind about evolution. I will thank God EVERYDAY for opening my eyes.

" It doesn't matter how many times you attempt to explain something. Their minds are made up based on their own indoctrination. Then, in a defensive stance to protect their psychological weakness, these guys are all trying to say that indoctrination is liberal education. I don't think anyone can talk sense into someone who refuses to listen to any evidence contrary to their own self-built boxes. "

Berkeley is no different than any other evolution-centered institution: indoctrination rather than education. Education is about evidence-based inquiries, evolution is about telling you what to say about the evidence that is found. This is why it has no coherence. Examine closely the questions these so-called "students" ask and you will find they are unable to sift through their own presuppositions and definitions resulting in simple emotional rejection. This is all indicative to indoctrinated peoples. You get the same reaction when you hypnotize someone--all they can do is reject you, they are incapable of thinking through their answers. The largest problem is that they are incapable--COMPLETELY INCAPABLE--of recognizing what are clear lies. This is why they are incapable of recognizing any equivocation between terms. Check out the dufus at 1:08:10 who wants to assert that DNA is "not complex", despite having already established the complexity in previous comments. Evolutionary theory creates active stupidity.

This is a very interesting video. It's as if the people asking the questions weren't even listening during the 45 min talk at the beginning. If these young people talked to and debated their professors in the same manner they would be disciplined. Behold our future leaders. It's enough to make one cry. Pathetic!

The theme is all these religiously zealous Evolutionism devotees do not want to believe in the God they know exists, they grasp at the evolutionary straws to convince themselves and refuse to admit how absurd and unscientific the whole ridiculous idea of evolution no matter what, they are like children keeping their eyes shitt tight and screaming "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA! I'm not listening!!!" (Which is what ALL of their high sounding arguements amount to) against all logic reason and authority to the contrary of their impossible idea / "theory"!

I'm sooooo proud of Kent Hovind. He stood up to all those angry, hysterical religious fanatics who were clearly desperate to uphold their evolutionist faith. Hovind remained calm, focused, and good humored and God gave him the victory! He sets a really good example for Christians to stand firm for their faith. God bless him!

Evolutionism, Materialism, Scientism, Secular Humanism, Atheism is a religious belief -- they're believed by faith w/no proof - ranting, name calling, fits of rage, blanket statements, saying it is proved / known, etc. is no proof whatsoever! Who told you - they had no proof either - get over it - go find if you can - until then, admit to yourself (we already know) you have strongly held religious beliefs!
definition: religion - 1. a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith; 2. a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe ...

"From 1924 to 1988, there was a visitor's sign above the entrance to Carlsbad Caverns that said, Carlsbad was at least 200 million years old. In 1988, the sign was changed to read 7 to 10 million years old. Then, for a little while, the sign read that it was 2 million years old. Now, the sign is gone."

Funny. They realized their ignorance and the shame of constantly changing your mind about something you label science.

56:44 "My name is Skip Evans, I major in anti-creationism at the university of the National Center for Science Education at..." [audience erupts into applause.]
57:04 "You need to hear his message--you need to know what this man is talking about because when you go off and become university professors, you're going to call us up and say 'some kid brought this book in written by a guy named Kent Hovind...what is this stuff?" You're getting the lesson here tonight...I think you [to Hovind] should speak at a lot more universities and a lot less churches."
Sure doesn't sound like "Evolutionism Loses." Sounds more like Hovind was called there to be a dancing monkey so that the students could be "educated" in Hovind's tactics for mis-education.

I assume that majoring in 'anti-creationism' is to major in rabble rousing as I did not notice Skip engage in any intellectual answer to the issues that were claimed to be incorrect and consequently misinformation. It is disappointing as I would have assumed that a rebuttal would have required a scientific argument to show that the statements that were asserted to be lies were evidentially true.
As far as I can tell (as a mere professional scientist holding degrees, not as an all wise student still to complete his studies like Skip and some others) the arguments put forward about Haeckel's theory of recapitulation, and the examples of claimed vestigial organs being demonstrated to be well known not to be vestigial, were both sound and no-one gave a valid refutation of the claim that in the manner that they were stated in text books they were fraudulent.
It is a shame that either a major in 'anti-creationism' appears to not include core modules in logic, or that Skip is not getting adequate grades in the course, as he did not do credit to the teachers of such a course in his demonstration of a lack of ability to grasp simple logical arguments and to be able to respond with logical arguments of his own. All in all not a good advert for the University he attends.

+MJ Wells Skip Evans was not a student, but a proponent of the separation of church and state. He worked for the NCSE--hardly a mere "rabble rouser." Unfortunately, he died in 2012. There was no need to treat this as a debate because, as all the science students in that room knew, there is nothing to debate. They only needed to hear the different weird "theories" proposed by intellectual leaches like Hovind. However, there are plenty of articles and blogs where Evans did show the corny tactics of the creationists. I suggest reading them--they are quite humorous and enlightening.

Skip can now put his logical skills to good use; but this time without an audience, and to the great Judge of the universe.
May God have mercy on his soul.

So many opponents upset about what Kent Hovind is doing! Why are they so upset? And they take different approaches to their upsetment. They like to warn others about the dirty tricks Hovind uses, but meanwhile they attempt to introduce their own dirty tricks. Maybe they think that dirty tricks should only be according to their own pattern, not Hovind's pattern!
Then there is the woman at 2:22:55 who is all worried that Hovind should be fighting against errors in other branches of education, not evolution! Why is she so bent out of shape that he has chosen evolution? Maybe he's having too much success in that and she wants him to have less success!

Hovind mopped the floor with them. If those "profs" had any brains they would have called in sick that day.
