Creationists don't lie all the time, and sometimes the truth can slip out. For instance, Ken Ham has recently admitted that they engage in fabrication, and have even shown pictures illustrating how good they are at fabricating "biblical truths."
(Yes, this is an example of quote mining.)

Another way to twist the minds of children. What a fairytale. I checked out the walk through, it's disturbing. This will cause scientists to have violent seizures or resort vanalism and, if it wasn't so pathetic, loud fits of laughter.

I'm looking forward to seeing the "Valley of Corruption", which, I've been told, is located somewhere on the Whore of Babylon's person.

Umm, a FALSE ceiling to show the Wonders of God's Creation. Indeed Ken Ham has started confessing his sins. Could be that he is becoming a Christian?

I LOVE playing the Quite Mine Game! The following is word-for-word taken from just 2 paragraphs of Ken Hamm's words.
(Well, creationistic word-for-word quote style.)
"Oh my" "An area we have almost completed is the Wonders of Creation hung to create the false elements. This room will surely (as the name implies) show God's Valley of Corruption on an almost daily basis."
added note: "And don't call me Shirley!"

Yes, this is an example of quote mining.
As an expert I can say without fear of contradiction that it wasn't quote mining ... you obviously just wandered too near the Babylon/Confusion exhibit.

Maybe we should get a tour together and have t-shirts made with this on the front.

The Confusion Exhibit.
Finally, something I can agree with!
