Making large bucks is what these charecters do best. They are no more than multi-million dollar panhandlers.
Uh, wouldn't this thread fit a little better in RRP? doov [ October 29, 2002: Message edited by: Duvenoy ]</p> |

I might point out that the salary and benefits that the article pointed would not include another source of income for Ham: royalties from all his books.

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) I guess we should not make fun of him too much. After all he does come from a distinquished family: the first American into space was a Ham!  :-) |

Y'know, it's times like this that I wonder why I don't become the first athiest creation scientists.
I've got nothing against selling my credibility for the right price. and to top it off, I wouldn't even need relevant or legitimate degrees. all I'd need to do was be oohed and aahed over on camera by a bunch of religious people, and write a few Books of Bollocks. too easy.

I remember Ham's flight, and some years later I saw him (the chimp, not the preacher) at the National Zoo in DC. I think it was in 1964. He seemed like a perfectly reasonable simian to me, so perhaps the comparison is a little unfair, physical similarties not withstanding. But a good one none the less! Made me chortle, it did.  doov [ October 29, 2002: Message edited by: Duvenoy ]</p> |

Moving away from good natured humor about Ham's name and his resemblance to an ape...
From the article, I picked up the name Guidestar which naturally led me to a quick guess of <a href="http://www.guidestar.com." target="_blank">www.guidestar.com.</a> From their I found AiG's entry <a href="http://nohttp://www.guidestar.org/search/report/financial.jsp?npoId=96473" target="_blank">here</a>. Edited to kill link to entry. I did not realize that was against the rules to post links to specific entries. [ October 30, 2002: Message edited by: Valentine Pontifex ]</p> |

More creationist GuideStar entries:
List of entries deleted. Does it surprise anyone that Kent Hovind's organization is not even listed? [ October 29, 2002: Message edited by: Valentine Pontifex ] [ October 30, 2002: Message edited by: Valentine Pontifex ]</p> |
