Christianity Today, the prominent magazine founded by evangelist Billy Graham over 50 years ago, has come under fire for allegedly misreporting the public's enthusiasm for the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky.
Ken Ham, founder of Answers in Genesis, or AiG, the ministry behind the Creation Museum, published a blog post blasting the magazine for an article that reported the Museum's revenues have fallen and funding for its planned "Ark Encounter" project is lagging.
Instead, Ham insists, AiG fundraising efforts are on target and the museum's finances are actually exceeding projections.
"In recent times, we have seen a concerted effort by secularists who are so opposed to AiG that they spread such misinformation concerning revenue and attendance about the Creation Museum, Ark Encounter and AiG in general," Ham writes. "It's sad that Christianity Today is now a party to this spreading of misleading and false information – and primarily to a Christian audience."
The controversy stems from an article in Christianity Today's June edition spotlighting eight relatively recent attempts by various ministries to build life-size replicas of Noah's Ark, including AiG's "Ark Encounter."
