It's true—Ken Ham has a whole team of expert fabricators working for him. We knew that all along, of course.

The excellent Slacktivist notes, once more, that Ken Ham’s biblical exegesis is just as sound as his science. But there's a twist. He writes, "For decades I’ve been having this argument:"
YOUNG-EARTH CREATIONIST: The Bible clearly says that God created the universe in six days, 6,000 years ago.

I spent the last weekend in scenic Parsippany, NJ, participating in the annual chess extravaganza known as the U. S. Amateur Team East. As big a chess fan as I am, I am mostly retired from tournament play. It's too hard and stressful! For the first time in a long while, however, I managed to…
If you've been following the comment threads lately, you already know that we've had a new arrival who has been inspiring much hilarity, Pastor Tom Estes. He seems to be much dismayed at us atheists, and is promising to meet us at the Creation "Museum" on Friday, to discuss matters. He also has a…
Cool, I'll accept the title. One of the reporters who joined us in Kentucky has a nice article on the Creation "Museum" trip in the Star Tribune. One thing I appreciate about it is that he actually quotes us on the scientific flaws in the exhibits.
There is a very silly quote from Ken Ham, of…
Perhaps that's for the bit of the story where all the water for the flood magically comes out of a canopy through holes in the sky dome (crystal or bronze, depending on precisely which version of the myths). It's going to take a bit more rigging than that to get an animatronic dragon to fly across and knock stars out of the sky dome though (ie for the other end of the story book).
I was laughing too until I read:
$20 million? I'm sorry, but I find it depressing to see how much people will pay for gargantuan piles of bullshit.
I don't know if anyone will be interested in this but tonight at 8:30 p.m. est on Nickleodean there is a special coming on called "God, Science, and the Classroom" (I think that's the title). It's supposed to have kids talking about the ID/evolution controversy. I will be watching it because my child watches Nick quite a lot and I want to know what they say about ID.
This is a really, really great site. Keep it up! I will be reading regularly from now on, for sure.

Lots of great stuff to find on the Web. Cheers, and keep the new posts coming! From what I've seen, it's really exemplary work.
If they're expert fabricators, then why are their lies so obvious, even to the particularly dimwitted dog at my side?
This might be construed as my saying that creationists aren't as bright as particularly dimwitted dogs.
I plead the Fifth.
What really warps my mind is the page on arguments that creationists should not use:

I don't understand how one can posit that speciation only takes place within "kinds" and not create new "kinds". If one acknowledges that evolution takes place, then surely one also has to acknowledge its general applicability. I guess "fabricators" pretty much fits the bill.
The "nick news" segment was interesting. I liked the fact that the program was structured such that evolution had the first as well as last words on the subject. It also featured scientific rebuttals to ID's claims, rather than the basic "equal time" crapola one gets on CNN.
This only brings to bear the insane urge I feel to mate with pretty daughters of fundies and religious leaders.
20 million clams? 20,000,000?!? Can you imagine the beer I could buy with that? Sheesh...
Anyhow, back on topic? Thanks for the link and for the page that Inky included for arguments that should not be used. The irony is there was no page consisting of FAQs for pages that a creationist should use?
Personally I'm just a skeptic and haven't decided who's right but I'm pretty sure that you're all wrong somehow. But, that's just my opinion I suppose.
