They came to Denver to do a hatchet job and part of that hatchet job was running away from getting the full story (ex. simply asking what their response is to the radiometric dating issue.) Why didn't they just simply ask that question Granite?
Why is it amusing?
Why are you putting "museum" in quotes? Tell me all you know about this museum and why you are disparaging it.
Let's take this one step at a time. Yes or no, do you actually think ABC was so amateurish that they tried to get a good quote for the broadcast by only interviewing 1 kid out of perhaps 30 or so? Yes or no.
First of all, I don't know where to find the clip. And secondly, did you even listen to the BEL show or aren't you going to bother?
The
full story could have been far more embarrassing, Jefferson. They should consider themselves lucky that ABC didn't press even harder.
Why didn't they ask? Who knows. They didn't ask all they could have, for sure. For example, they could have asked for Carter's academic qualifications. They could have asked what peer-reviewed articles he's written. They could, in other words, have asked him if he was any kind of expert in palentology, anthropology, or archeology.
It is "amusing" because it happens to be inane, but that's a subject for another time.
Do you not consider the honest answer of a Christian child to be good
enough? I'm not sure whether to be surprised at this or not.
I watched the clip, you didn't, and it's exceedingly easy to find. Having listened to the radio program as well, it still sounds as though Carter was deeply embarrassed by actual, real life exposure to the media, and he's trying to salve his stung pride.
