This is amazing! Kent Hovind had to pay for his PhD, but Ken Ham got his for free!

Honorary degrees have never made sense to me. I guess it's just recognition and/or an award, but then why call it a degree? Even serious universities do it, but ffs Bryan College doesn't even offer any doctoral programs at all and they're giving out a 'Doctor of Science' degree. /PhDRant
No, an honorary degree does not confer the ability to debate.What ever those qualifications may seem to mean to anyone. It does seem to have some effect .. perhaps a placebo like effect ... giving them at least an articulated confidence and ability to be quite able to debate with many well known leading opponents.

Well, it makes sense to me. Similar to my job. my position as a training specialist for the military curricula based upon our weapon systems requires an education or engineering degree. But they accepted that 20 years of employment in the Navy, working on the weapon systems made by this company, is equivalent.Honorary degrees have never made sense to me.

Well, yeah. They're saying that Hamface is JUST as good at science as any of their doctors WOULD be, if they had any doctoral programs.but ffs Bryan College doesn't even offer any doctoral programs at all and they're giving out a 'Doctor of Science' degree.
Hum...when I was in school, we talked of watching submarine races in the desert Not sure about dat honor thingy...Well, it makes sense to me.

An honorary degree recognizes that rather than sitting in a classroom and doing the learning, you have done sufficient work in the real world to put you on a level with their students. You've had an impact on a subject, a discipline, a topic equal to that of their graduates and made the world a place where your contributions must be recognized.

I'd take it as a slap in the face, really. Kind of like if my old Submarine School handed out an honorary certification for a jet pilot, or if the Air Force Academy handed out a certification for carrier landings. It's a big 'kick me' sign on the back, but I'm sure it makes him feel special.
An actor who'd been in a submarine movie rode one of my subs, other crew. They gave him a set of Dolphins at the end of the tour to honor his portrayal of the sub life. That was an honor.Not sure about dat honor thingy...
Well, yah those are nifty examples to explain 'honor'. However, I wasn't sure about 'honor' related to taking a girl out into the desert to watch submarine races, or figuring out how to fill in the time waiting for one to start....An actor who'd been in a submarine movie rode one of my subs, other crew.

When we had a particularly rough trip to periscope depth, the XO went to control to give the diving officer a ticket stub from Six Flags. Thanking him for the roller coaster ride... That was not an honor.

Hey, Pitbull apologized for those remarks about 'going down in a sub!' We're cool!More like the Submarine School giving an honorary certification to Pitbull the rapper.
