AiG have propaganda show on the NRB channel

[Jimmy Higgins]

It's on right now. I don't know how old this is. They have a commercial during Ham's "races" program referring to their creationism museum. How old is this? Are they trying to grow now? Was the museum part of a much larger part of expanding in the US? Do we need to make the world's largest "BS" sticker to place over their museum?

[Jimmy Higgins]

Not a single comment? It looks as if AiG is looking to expand into the US. Going onto television is a pretty big step.

well there ain't much to say. AIG will obviously want to spread the Good Word among all the good little white american tories. TV is an obvious step. i'm suprised they haven't been on TV before, theres so much evangelist shite on american TV.

what kind of stuff was on the show? any new and shiny "arguments"?

From what I saw, Ham was showing how there is only one race of humans on Earth, therefore the Bible has to be right... science says so. For the few minutes I caught, he seemed to be bringing up more red herrings than the typical political web board does in a year.

What is the NRB channel?

[nogods4me]

Apparently it is a fundie channel on Direct TV. I don't have Direct TV so cannot see the program.

Judging by how popular their website is with North American fundies, I'd say they already have expanded into the US.

IIRC, AIG split into AIG (based in Australia) and a CMI (based in USA). And the split wasn't under the friendliest of conditions.

Maybe AIG will now try to muscle CMI out of the USA?!?!?!

Funny. My Kentucky cable provider has at least a dozen religious channels in their line up, but so far as I know NBR isn't one of them. (I could be wrong - I've configured everything to skip past the obviously preachy channels...)

AIG is aussie? that's news to me.

Wikipedia has details about the relationship and tension between AIG and CMI, some of which I may have gotten wrong because I was going off the top of my head.

Actually I think it was the other way around. Certainly the magazine here in Australia called Creation (formally Ex nihilo) is made by CMI, not AiG (their magazine is now called Answers).

One version of the story can be read on the CMI website (http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/42/60/)

NRB?

Then they can advertise all they want. I doubt they would get the attention of too many people who didn't know about them already.

What a great idea! Wonder how large stickers you can have made...

[Crazyharp81602]

I still remember CMI is planning on suing AiG because of the schism going on between the two. Does anyone have the idea when will the lawsuit trial take place?

Where does "white" come into it? Are you under the impression that there's less biblical literalism amongst non-white Americans than amongst whites?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the other way around.
