They can't handle people pointing out how badly Ken Ham got skullfucked by Bill Nye.

The only way one could think Ken won the debate is if they agreed with him going in.

I keep confusing AIG with some insurance company and then I get suprised on why would they care about the evolution debate.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

You know, why aren't those two in a legal catfight like the World Wildlife Fund and the (used to be) World Wrestling Federation?  I'd be a thousand times more offended by a cadre of creationist knuckle-draggers like you get at Answers in Genesis having my acronym than a bunch of guys in spandex fighting eachother in a moderately homoerotic fashion.

Can we make it a legal deathmatch? Whichever organization loses is immediately dissolved.

I have to assume that the insurance giant has better lawyers.

Doesn't Answers in Genesis typically abbreviate as AiG, as opposed to the insurance company AIG?  Is that possibly enough of a difference?

Answers in Genesis has Jesus, and he's the best lawyer of all...

Alas, Jesus hasn't risen from the dead in, what...2,000 years?  Besides, Jesus would probably be more tempted to just stone them to death as heretics, and that's not nearly as interesting as a to-the-death match in the Thunderdome.  Besides, the insurance giant can afford better weapons, and to bribe the judges into letting them bring 'em into the fight.

Oh, I already decided on weapons. Electric chainsaws... that have to be plugged in to work.

Jesus had a chainsaw
He kept it in his shed
All night long he'd play with it
"RRRR-RRRRR-RRRR! You're dead!"

One night he went a-lopping
In Hovind's old theme park
He RRRR-RRRRR-RRRR'd his heart's content
Blood spraying in the dark.

Now this made god unhappy
As lopping is a sin
So he swapped out Jesus's chainsaw
For one to be plugged in.

Now this chainsaw's much quieter
Though it cuts flesh like a rocket
The only limitation is
Proximity to a power socket.

Part pirate, part wolf.

Look at the bottom of the picture he has.

And here's another example of AIG being hypocritical about free speech:

Quote
But what is harmful to kids and to society is to brainwash children with evolution by allowing them to hear only the arguments and “evidence” supposedly proving the theory of evolution and never the scientific evidence and arguments against it. It is harmful to kids and society because evolution teaches kids that they are just animals in a world controlled by the principle of “survival of the fittest.” That means that there is no purpose or meaning to life and no moral absolutes.

Quote
As a result more and more important observational results are simply not being published in the journals in which one would habitually look for such results. The referees themselves, with the aid of compliant editors, have turned what was originally a helpful system into a chaotic and mostly unprincipled form of censorship.


They need to look at their statement of faith.
Quote
By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the scriptural record. Of primary importance is the fact that evidence is always subject to interpretation by fallible people who do not possess all information.
If you don't go with that, you can't work there.  No chance of keeping your job if you ever dare to NOT disregard any evidence that goes against their views!

That makes this cartoon of theirs all the more ironic (if not funny):

And once again, another example of how AIG truly feels about free speech:
