that's just what I was thinking, actually. there are creationists who know that what they're saying isn't true--no, I can't remember names, but they do exist--at least as far as their discussion of archaeology. for example, they know that most hoaxes are exposed by paleontologists, yet they still use hoaxes as examples to prove that the whole science is flawed.

do most creationists do this? no, but they have been indoctrinated into believing the same thing. I would say that anyone who makes a living in either is either running a scam or a bad scientist. (I hope saying that is okay.)
