That Moon Hoaxers lie I have no doubt. I have proof of that! But saying creationists don't is rather funny to me. Duane Gish is well-known for his semantic antics, and William Dembski recently had his head handed to him in the blogosphere for quote mining.

Mind you, do not confuse my words about people who go out and talk about these topics, versus people who passively believe in them. Bart Sibrel is a known liar, but someone who reads his bilge and believes it is not. They are just getting fooled.
