Bill Maher & AiG

[Dr. Shane]

HBO’s Bill Maher and the plot to deceive AiG

Quote:

A video crew arranged to come to AiG to visit the Museum, calling themselves First Word Productions. At the end of their tour they wanted an interview with me in my office and they asked for permission to drive around the back of the building to bring in equipment. Then, under the pretext of needing to talk to Mark Looy (who supervises and approves such visits) one of the crew distracted Mark—then, WITHOUT PERMISSION, WITHOUT REGISTERING WITH AiG SECURITY AS THEY KNEW WAS REQUIRED, AND WITH ONE OF THE CREW DISTRACTING ANOTHER AiG EMPLOYEE AND SHUTTING THEIR DOOR, THEY SNEAKED BILL MAHER INTO THE BUILDING WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR AN INTERVIEW.

Quote:

When someone like Bill Maher goes to such elaborate lengths to get into AiG, it tells us how dangerous they look on this ministry—and how high profile this ministry has become.

What amazes me is that Bill Maher traveled all the way across the country with his crew and a highly developed scheme to sneak in and get an interview that he had been turned down for. That says a lot about how important they think Ken Ham is. If he was irrelevant they wouldn't have offered him an interview in the first place. And when he turned them down they certainly would have went to the great expense of flying their whole crew across country to sneak Bill Maher into Ken's office.

Isn't the story odd. Bill Maher invites Ken Ham to do an interview with him and Ken Ham turns him down. Big deal, right? I mean, who is Ken Ham to a national media star like Bill Maher anyway? Getting turned down shouldn't have been a big deal. Plenty of other guests are willing to go on the guy's show. But Bill Maher goes to the trouble and expense to fly his crew across the country to get the interview through deception.

Ken Ham's position has always been that any coverage is good coverage even if it is negative coverage because it gets people talking about the creation and evolution issue that otherwise wouldn't be talking about it.
