Why does anyone need either one? Kings and gods are not needed to be "civilized". What does this have to do with Science and Technology?

Suppose the world is only a few thousand years old and dinosaur bones were put here for a god's amusement. Then their is all that coal and oil, cliffs of Dover etc.

no matter what the tv says about it or how many times they put Kent Hovind in the penitentiary public service for no crime for nine years and his wife too
Why Is Kent Hovind In Federal Prison ?
You will see reports that Kent Hovind is in prison for tax evasion. This is understandable. According to this recent Tax Court decision concerning Mrs. Hovind, neither he nor she were filing 1040s. That is not what he is in prison for. In 2006, a jury found Kent Hovind guilty on all counts of a fifty-eight count indictment. Twelve counts concerned failure to file quarterly payroll tax returns for Creation Science Evangelism (Mr. Hovind’s ministry which operated the Dinosaur Adventure Land theme park). Forty-five counts were for “structuring”. He or his wife made cash withdrawals from the bank in the amounts of $9,500 or $9,600 on forty-five separate occasions between the summer of 2001 and the summer of 2002. The 58th count said he had corruptly endeavored “to obstruct and impede the due administration of the internal revenue laws” . That particular offense reminds me of a crime that the city cops I hung around with in the seventies used to talk about. They called it “ B and A”, which stood for “being an _______”. In Hovind’s case it included filing complaints, making threats and paying his employees in cash and calling them missionaries.
Kent Hovind was convicted on 58 counts. Those 58 counts had nothing to do with his creationist ideas. Why Is Kent Hovind In Federal Prison ? You will see reports that Kent Hovind is in prison for tax evasion.
From my point of view: any being/spirit no matter how big in size or intelligent that plays around with power pyramid schemes to control and parasite on others being no matter the size or intelligence is objectively evil as shown by the fruits.

And I will add: pyramid power is not always bad: in cases of dire straits, having a boss may save your life if he thinks straight enough. Egypt proved in in the form of surviving famine through careful planning, all nations also did this at some point in history, or points for older nations, and where clearly power is heavy and the apex of the pyramid farthest from gravity must thread lightly.
