Kent Hovind did not seem to me to be a good match for the La Vergne, TN community or the Miracle Baptist Church in particular, so I tried to find out the story behind the event. I did not have much success, but, after other parties failed to be responsive, Mike Slinker, head deacon, happened to contact me and we had the following exchange which seemed worthy of archiving.
.
The following exchange took place on November 3, 2018 and November 4, 2018.

Will it remain a secret who gets the local credit for bringing Kent into your community for his performances?
.
Some can handle it. Some can’t.

It has been my observation that wherever Kent goes, one way or another, he promotes his false legal narrative, as he already has in the promotion for the event at MBC.
.
See what is posted in the promotion at the following link regarding his incarceration. It’s part of his false legal narrative and UNrepentant character regarding his criminal history and related matters.

Oh no, Kent and I have a lot of “theological” differences. I don’t suppose he has any interest in dealing with anything substantive to do with those. He has often made fun of some of my beliefs.
.
As far as young-earth creation-science is concerned, Kent has already conceded the scientific debate (reference available upon request). I have a FaceBook page for that, and Kent has never indicated any interest in successfully completing my Creationism 101 Critical Thinking Exercise which would demonstrate further how it is that he and his have lost the scientific and legal battles over his position (i.e., it’s theology and not science).

No, I am not an atheist.

Consider this article:

.
I’ve worked with Peter J. Reilly, the Forbes contributor on that article, for several years. I got him interested in both the Hovind & FFRF case indicated in the article, and he has probably published over 100 articles on Forbes.com on those 2 issues alone.

I don’t get to travel much any more, but I will keep that in mind.

One of the “crazies” whose story I cover, or watch and let others cover, is that of Lydia A. Hubbell.
.
She has a house in Antioch, TN. Big event recently was her arrest and she is currently still in jail waiting action on her case next week and the possibility she can raise bail and get out. I won’t bore you with the details.
.
She and her people have a tendency to misrepresent her case. Me and my people do a better job but what we do is not so easy to find.
.
Lydia A. Hubbell’s main page is at:
.
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011221786486
.
Lydia’s story, basically, is that she has mental problems, played the harlot and then got into a custody fight with the resulting child’s father, and it’s been going on for years.
.
Take it for what it’s worth. Being somewhat local to you, you might want to at least take a peek and look for other local news on the story if it makes any news venues.

Good morning, Robert. One more quick curiosity question: Of the 327 million + people in the United States, what is your reasoning to be specifically known as Kent Hovind’s worst nightmare? Thanks, Mike
.
From: Robert Baty
.
I guess you really don’t know Kent Hovind that well.
.
That’s OK.
That’s part of why I do what I do.
.
A few months ago Kent came out with a video autobiography and it was entitled, “Kent Hovind, The Atheists’ Worst Nightmare”.
.
I figured I could use that as well as Kent, though mine is more accurate.
.
I think Kent’s video is kind of hard to find now. As I recall, it was produced by Theo, one of Kent’s former close associates and IT guys. That’s a whole ‘nother story.
.
Theo and Kent split and Theo now has his own operations and his channel is at:

From: Mike Slinker
.
So help me understand your platform’s ultimate goal since there are tons of people around the world who produce videos, etc… I’m still having difficulty since you are a child of God and have a relationship with Jesus, linking the reason why you specifically chose Kent Hovind? Also, if his message was against atheism, is your goal to provide a different guidance to people versus the message of his statements and beliefs on that topic? Last question, for right now: When you say you are a child of God, this comes with an understanding that you indeed have a relationship with Jesus. Can you kindly share your testimony on how and when you were saved? Thanks, Mike

For what it’s worth, in reference to your “salvation” inquiry, it is the case that my people and the Baptists have a long history of disputing that question.
.
Some time ago, one of Kent’s apologists whom I was dealing with invited a discussion of that matter, and so I obliged. You can review my discussion with him in my YAHOO! at the following links (Parts 1-9):

I spoke with our Pastor and he is open to discuss your thoughts as well (maybe another Podcast Session)?
.
From: Robert Baty
,
Sure, I’m game.
.
After Kent Hovind popped off about me during his appearance with Bernie Dehler (YouTube “SecHummer”), Bernie invited me to discuss Kent’s legal problems and false legal narrative.
.
I think you will have a hard time finding any of Kent’s religious kind that have allowed such a presentation; though I have asked numerous times in advance of Kent’s appearances and/or after. We’ll see if your pastor can make it happen, if y’all go through with hosting Kent.
.
Here’s the link to Bernie’s interview with me about that. Bernie also has a separate video right after that one where I discuss my Atheism 101 Critical Thinking Exercise (Bernie is an atheist).

Since Mike brought up the issue as to why I have characterized myself as “Kent Hovind’s Worst Nightmare”, I thought these references are appropriate to note here:

Update November 11, 2018
Cathy Kirkland, the preacher’s wife, decided to pick up our conversation where it left off and the following exchange has just taken place.
From Cathy Kirkland
Mr Baty,
.
I do not know what was or what made it “under the umbrella of repentance or forgiveness”, I only can speak to my own eyes and heart in the moment. I can say, God is using Dr. Hovind mightly.
.
He is a confident soul winner and encourager of stagnant Christians.
.
I pray that the weapons being formed against him and those on a mission, will not be allowed to continue.
.
May God grant you peace in letting Him be God and correct any mistakes He feels need to be corrected in the life of ALL of us. Blessings to you and yours.
.
When your name was brought up at lunch, not one unkind word was uttered about you.
.
My 8 year old and all our children and adults have been amazing blessed by Dr. Hovind. I would recommend him highly.
.
Thank you for your inquiry.
I reserved my comments and judgements until I met the man for myself.
.
I was not ignoring you, but waiting to observe with wisdom.
.
Dr. Cathy Kirkland,
.
From Robert Baty
Thank you for that feedback but it seems somewhat typical and hypocritical and evasive of the important public issues that Kent refuses to adequately deal with.
.
Did Kent tell you how many times he has called me a “moron” and accused me falsely.
.
Did you meet Cindi Lincoln?
Did Kent tell you he is still married to Mary Tocco?
.
So many issues, and you don’t seem to have a clue, but I appreciate your taking the time to respond.
From Cathy Kirkland
Like I said, NO slander on that side.
.
Only on one side so far.
.
Blessings to your peace.
From Robert Baty
Shame on you, Cathy.
Shame on you!
.
There is no slander coming from my side, or libel.
.
It’s also rather cowardly of you to speak of such things while refusing to actually provide me with any details as to what might have been said about me and while you and yours continue to refuse to answer legitimate questions about Kent’s appearance.
.
I do, however, thank you for the demonstration.
