This one's real, it's no secret and it makes money
Sell religious scientific illiterates the idea that evolution, a major leg of biology is somehow anti-religious. Always be sure to misrepresent it. Set up museums, web sites, books and magazines promoting the idea. These do not take a lot of work, you can recycle nonsense refuted by scientists 100 years ago and the suckers will not know.

Feed the farrago of lies, misdirection, rotten argument and selected quotes from unwary scientists to anyone who will listen.

Potential "community leaders" will voluntarily go into personal debt to set up "Christian" schools and evangelical churches. After they have reached a satifactory level of scriptural knowledge and ability to parrot your drivel, they can become pastors. If their personal magnetism is enough to obtain a following, their small organisation can build a "Cathedral of Praise", preferably in provincial towns and the suburban outskirts of larger cities. With volunteers acting as promoters attempting to save the souls of immigrants, teenagers, the under-educated and other vulnerable people you can increase the following in a few years.

The followers may tithe. That is, donate up to 10% of their income. From this the pastor obtains his income and serves the mortgage on the buildings and land, which is often his personal property. Banks and other credit agencies regard this as a good risk, even if the pastor has to work two jobs for a while to make the payments.

The pastor also feeds some of his congregation's money to your organisation in return for the "latest information" that "disproves evolution". You don't care which sect he claims to belong to, just as long as he pays. Naturally you also solicit direct donations from the faithful.

Does this make money? Ask Ken Ham.

Ken Ham
is a fur-lined, ocean going cock.

I've had a run in with the Answers in Genesis people before and can sum up their scientific acumen in two words.

Non existent.

Anyone who wants to take on a room of physicists, geologists and chemists and claim that the reason carbon dating is wrong is because the speed of light has changed since the earth came into being from the fluff in the Almighty's pocket some 6,000 years ago is frankly, worthy of a tin-foil crown.

AiG & Mr. Ham
Rakky if you want some more ammunition look for a copy of "Telling Lies for God" by Prof. Ian Plimer, an Australian geologist who did an expose on the "Creation Science Foundation" (CSF) based in Brisbane Australia, from which Mr. K. Ham emerged in the 1980s soon after accusations of necrophilia and witchcraft rocked said foundation. Plimer's book isn't 100% reliable, it seems he was trying to solicit libel actions.

Probably still available from Amazon.

Having lived in the USA for some years where the creationist grass is greener, Ham informed American subscribers to a creationist tosh magazine produced in Australia by the CSF that it would no longer be available and substituted his own load of codswallop. The CSF also accused him of using some of their funds to set up his Kentucky joke palace, without their knowledge or consent. Court action followed, I don't know the result.

The weird thing is that Ham graduated with a degree in environmental science from the same institute of technology (polytechnic, you might say) the same year I gained a chemistry degree there. I must have seen him, but I don't remember him. That was in '76. I do remember two of his pals though, throwbacks to 1950 in dress if nothing else.
