I can't believe that fraud earns ten cents for spreading horse manure. They aren't as bad as Hovind, but they're up there. Some of them actually have degrees that imply that they should know better.

"But let him who is taught in the Word share with the one teaching in all good things. "
(Galatians 6:6 MKJV)
Please tell me this isn't an attempt to justify the head of a ministry taking nearly two hundred grand in salary and benefits out of the collection plate. That's obscene in any circumstance.

Yes, youre right.
They should just give up what they see as true and get on the bandwagon with a theory that could very well be debunked tomorrow.
And they should do it just so you wont have to deal with the implcation that there may be an omnipotent God who you will someday face.

Why would they do that when they are making big bucks promoting a myth that was debunked more than 100 years ago?

I would say that if his salary is that high, then those supporting him (hey, no ones holding a gun to thier head, they do it of thier own free will) have the right to put him up any way they choose.

Let's relieve you of a misconception here. While the possibility remains for falsification of any scientific theory including evolution, the chances of this happening in the case of evolution are microscopic. Evolution is no more likely to be falsified tommorrow than gravity or quantum theory. You seem to be using the sliver of possibility to imply likelihood here and that simply isn't the case.

I agree, It will NOT be falsified.
It will continue to delude as that is probably Gods intentions for it.

Thats none of anyones elses business.
By that logic, Benny Hinn, Jim Baker and others did nothing wrong in bilking old ladies out of their social security checks. We have a common assumption in this country (and many others) that using people's sincerely-held religious beliefs to solicit money from them requires a high level of integrity when using those funds. When someone abuses that, as Ken Hamm seems to be, it is perfectly proper to denounce that as inappropriate.
