Survival of the Fittest: Which Creationist Group Will Prevail?

Comments clearly indicate that gentle readers want more on creationist controversy, not dead classical musicians. So we give you what you want.

We follow up our scintillating debate on young versus old earth by noting the news that Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis are the object of a lawsuit from the organization of which Ham and his group were once a part. In sum, the other organization, still based in Ham's native Australia, accuses Ham and company of failing to fulfill an agreement about subscriptions and so essentially destroying the Australian group's ability to generate revenue from its publications.

Follow the (not missing) link and try to untangle the saga of this controversy's evolution.

Editorial comment: In this world, anyone can be sued. But given the general contentiousness of AIG, we aren't surprised that they were deemed worthy of this form of suffering, especially at the hands of another creationist group. This didn't happen by chance.

I appreciate the humor, thank you.

I meant to ask this as part of the first AIG museum thread, but I forgot so will ask now...

If AIG is so problematic for all of the reasons discussed (and probably more), why in the world were we made to suffer through both morning AND afternoon sessions of an unbelievably dreadful AIG seminar during freshman orientation? Maybe this was before your reign began, but hopefully you've since put an end to it.

Said seminar was booked without my knowledge or approval. We are dean, not king.

By the way, as a matter of policy, I insist that everything that anyone didn't like at CCU was done without my knowledge or approval. In the immortal words of Jake Blues, "It's not my fault!"
