Ken Ham's Hypocritical Whining

By Ed Brayton

Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis is upset that one of their people went on a radio show in England and was "ambushed" because they had Genie Scott on the show to counter his claims:

That's why it was not too surprising that when Dr. Lisle went on the air to be interviewed by the BBC, he quickly found out the BBC had not told us the truth--it turned out to be an attempted ambush--not an interview (as we had been led to believe), but a creation/evolution debate. On the other line was perhaps America's best-known evolutionist defender, Dr. Eugenie Scott, whose organization has as its sole purpose to counter creationist efforts wherever they can and to uphold evolution. Of course, the BBC didn't happen to tell us that it was to be a debate, and they didn't happen to tell us there would be a debate opponent, and they didn't happen to tell us who the debate opponent would be!
