Bill Maher evades security at Creation Museum

The group Answers in Genesis (AIG) says comedian Bill Maher of HBO recently made an unannounced visit to its new Creation Museum in an effort to "mock Christians and creationists." According to a ministry spokesman, Maher chose to circumvent security measures in order to obtain an interview with AIG founder Ken Ham.

A production company called "First Word Productions" told Answers in Genesis it was doing a documentary on world religions and wanted to showcase AIG's Creation Museum near Cincinnati, which will open to the public May 28. The film crew spent about three hours walking through the museum with Ken Ham, asking him questions along the way. They then requested a sit-down interview with Ham in his office.

As the crew began recording, one of them propped open a secure back door and let comedian Bill Maher in to take over the interview. AIG co-founder Mark Looy, who the film crew distracted so Maher could sneak in, says Ham was not aware of who Maher was.
