It should be added also that the Lady Hope story still gets circulated by creationists LONG after it has been exposed as nonsense.
But making a blanket statement about the honesty of creationists based on the actions of a few is not right. Just because some might still be circulating that story doesn't mean that all are liars. I, for one, never heard of that account before. Even if I did, why should I assume that the person telling me it is lying? That is no way to go through life; suspecting that everything you hear is a lie.
