Fellow Christians Aggrieved by Business Practices of Ken Ham and Answers in
Genesis
by CFR Staff
May 27, 2007
At the grand opening ceremonies of the Creation Museum this Saturday in
Petersburg, Kentucky, Answers in Genesis Chief Communications Officer Mark
Looy waxed eloquent as to the personal character of Answers in Genesis CEO
Ken Ham.
"Integrity." Looy said. "Ken Ham is an example of Christian integrity."
His former business partners and fellow Christian Creationists, Australian
based Creation Ministries International, use different words to describe
the business ethics of Ken Ham and his Answers in Genesis non-profit
corporation.
The dispute among these ideological allies centers around the tactics used
by Answers in Genesis to terminate the American distribution relationship
it had with Creation Ministries International to distribute that
organization's Creation Magazine. The magazine has been produced by the
Australian group since the late 1970's. In the early 1990's, Ken Ham
established a separate corporation in the United States to distribute
Creation Magazine. When the Answers in Genesis non-profit ministry was
established in 1993, Ham transferred the assets of this corporation into
this new ministry.
By 2005, Answers in Genesis was distributing new editions of Creation
Magazine every month to 35,000 American subscribers on behalf of the
Australian group. Cleverly, Answers in Genesis maintained the subscriber
list, refusing to share it with the Australians.
Dr. Carl Wieland, Managing Director of the Australian based Creation
Ministries International, who has known Ken Ham for over two decades, was
shocked at what transpired next.
"The planning for their own magazine to replace ours in due course was
underway already in 2005, well before they announced they were dropping
ours. They sent out (without telling us) a survey to subscribers which said
that they were contemplating a 'revamped Creation magazine'. The leading
questions in the survey were clearly designed to elicit the results
obtained, and clearly referred to a replacement magazine (e.g. asking
subscribers, 'would you like to see more articles by the following
authors', when the multiple choices included none of the regular Australian
authors)."
Answers in Genesis had its own magazine, Answers, waiting in the wings to
replace Creation magazine.
