This item falls well within the dictionary\u2019s definition of hypocrisy! Ken Ham, the head of Answers in Genesis, the group that built the $27 million Creation Museum-cum-theme-park in Kentucky, has recently railed against the BBC<\/a> for \u201cambushing\u201d a member of his staff. As you\u2019ll see if you read the link, Ham claims that Jason Lisle was surprised to find that his scheduled interview on the BBC was actually to be a debate with Genie Scott of the National Center for Science Education. (I\u2019ve not checked with Genie to get her side of the story since it is actually not relevant to the point I\u2019m making here!) Here\u2019s how Ham summarizes the situation: \u201cBy the way\u2014the BBC has not responded to our publicist who has challenged them concerning their deception. Then again, for those people who don\u2019t believe in God and there is no absolute authority, not telling the truth and deception would not be ethically wrong\u2014as they have no basis for right and wrong!\u201d<\/p>\n
What makes Ham\u2019s complaints so incredibly ironic and hypocritical is that this is exactly what he did to me a year ago. I was scheduled to do an interview last year on a fundamentalist Christian radio show only to discover, upon going on the air, that Ken Ham was also on the line, ready to debate me. When asked why neither the host nor Ken had the courtesy to inform me that I was to participate in a debate rather than in an interview, I was told that they believed that I wouldn\u2019t have accepted their offer had I been told the truth. When I questioned them about the deception, I was told that since the debate was to further God\u2019s wishes, a minor deception of this sort was acceptable.<\/p>\n
