Discussion of John MacKay's Views

John Mackay has cropped up in connection with the ongoing dispute between Ken Ham's AiG and the former Australian branch of that organisation (renamed CMI). Back in 1987, it appears that Mackay made lurid and unevidenced accusations against a widow named Margaret Buchanan who at that time was working as Ken Ham's personal secretary. Mrs Buchanan has since married Carl Wieland the head of CMI. Mackay was forced to resign and was even excommunicated by a Baptist church over this issue.These claims and supporting documentation may be found at the CMI website Re: John Mackay.Edited by PaulK, : Correct a few typos

I don't think that there's any real chance of him showing up. Big-name creationists have got extremely wary of showing up in online forums, especially ones which don't have a sympathetic management. The last example I know of in an even slightly open forum is Jonathan Sarfati's appearance on Theology Web - and even then he had the forum moderators protecting his anonymity (or attempting to) by banning any reference to his true identity.And for all you know he might be more likely to show up to refute CMI's accusations than if we simply kept at him. Not that there's much chance either way.
