Ken Ham, of Answers in Genesis and formerly of the Institute for Creation Research, created the Creation "Museum". In an Australian court:

The Brisbane-based Creation Ministries International has filed a lawsuit in Queensland's Supreme Court against Mr Ham and his Kentucky-based Answers in Genesis ministry seeking damages and accusing him of deceptive conduct in his dealings with the Australian organisation.
...
A magistrate between 1982 and 90, Mr Briese found in his report that Mr Ham and his US organisation had launched a campaign after his leadership was challenged by his US deputy, Brandon Vallorani, who was then sacked, and Australian leader Carl Wieland, who was later allegedly the subject of innuendo about his private life.
...
The joint Australian-US push for reforms came amid concerns over Mr Ham's domination of the ministries, the amount of money being spent on his fellow executives and a shift away from delivering the creationist message to raising donations.

Somewhat reminiscent of Kent Hovind running his own young Earth creationist operation in a fashion to raise money for himself.

By the way, Ham earns $120,000 in salary alone. That is much more than what an associate professor of science, ie a real scientist, earns.

The rift between Ham and Weiland generated a lot of buzz amongst Creationists who actually stay on top of it rather than just reject evolution and believe Creationism. I'm not sure much is going to come of it because these organizations have been splintering and amalgamating since the 1950s.
 
..In other words, God really asked Job—“Were you there?” This is one of the questions we teach children to ask whenever someone says they believe in millions of years. And … it works!

Not very clever, is it?

I'm fairly certain he hasn't been to Denmark, so if Ham ever got to Denmark - or I had the opportunity to be in the audience for one of his US shows - I would ask him, if he believe that Denmark exists.

He would answer "yes", to which I would ask him: "Were you there?"

You can substitute with "Pluto", of course. Just in case. :)

I was thinking "Did Jesus die for our sins?" and "Did Jesus get crucified?"

Reply: "There is no physical evidence to support that. This science book says the Earth is millions of years old. Abundant physical evidence supports this so it must be true."

Ham: "Your book was written by man. The Bible was written by God so it must be true."

Reply: "Were you there?

Ham: "Your grandfather wasn't a monkey, was he?"

Reply: "Were you there?"

Pretty close to what I had in mind.

Creationist: The bible tells me so there fore it is true.

reply: Who wrote the bible?

creationist: *doesn't really matter if they say "God" or "it was inspired by God" or something similar, the reply remains the same*

reply: Were you there?
