I'll betcha there ain't any evilutionists here who are making that kind of money!

Compare with Eugenie Scott who runs the National Center for Science Education. She makes $70,000 plus $6958 in benefits. The editor of NCSE's publication makes $11,850 with no benefits. (He is a part time employee.) The remainder of the payroll is $215,922 with $20,446 in benefits.

Source is the IRS Form 990 files by the organization.

AiG's Form 990 availiable from GuideStar is a year older which will be the reason why the Ham's salary is not the same as given by the newspaper article.

Ken Ham was paid $134,304 with $8,340 in benefits. Ken Ham plus all of the paid board members have total pay that sums up to $302,339 with $30,424 in benefits. Nonboard employees are paid $1,534,218 plus $281,447 in benefits.

It really looks like Ham's salary is going up! And he gets paid far more than his NCSE counterpart.

The ICR's salaries seem quite reasonable and do not deserve condemnation. I will ignore benefits which are not excessive.

Board Members

John Morris $74,412
Duane Gish $73,000
Donald Rohrer $64,600

Highest paid non-board employees

Kenneth Cumming $68,193
Larry Vardiman $62,400
Steven Austin $57,500
Donald Barber $70,000
Henry Morris $55,600

Three other employees are paid over $50,000.

Reason to Believe for being a smaller organization than ICR is much more generous to its head honchos.

Hugh Ross makes $118,555 plus $9,663. Three other board members who I will not name make $60,524, $83,925, and $76,205 with benefits of $3,169, $4,577, and $5,781 respectively.
