AiG honesty, at last

By pharyngula on October 4, 2006.

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.

From the linked article:

An area we have almost completed is the Wonders of Creation room; the sails have been hung to create the false ceiling, the stylish light box display panels have been installed as well as several other scenic elements. This room will surely (as the name implies) show the Wonders of God's Creation.

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.

Finally, something I can agree with!
