Another Liar for the Lord.
They don't see it that way. Here's what I posted a couple of days ago in another thread:
You need to understand how truly deranged creationists really are, before you can judge them as "honest" or "dishonest." I've tried (as a compasionate man) to think of what it would be like to be a creationist. To begin with, having been intellectually abused as a child, I would have virtually no power of reason (but I wouldn't be aware of this). I would have no idea how to determine fact from fiction. I wouldn't know the difference from reality and fantasy. I would be terrified by the world around me -- much like a savage in a thunderstorm -- and I would desperately crave some comfort that could make sense of it all and bring clarity to my horrifyingly frightening vision of the world. So I would grab at any package of dogma that came my way. I would cling to it, like a drowning man in a shipwreck who clings to some piece of floating debris, and I would furiously resist any attempt to pry it from my hands. (It would be all the more wonderful if the package of dogma told me that by so clinging I was being righteous and would receive my reward in the hereafter.)
I would be aware that there are others out there who don't share my worldview. In my simplified mind, I would assume that they are followers of some competing dogma package. My own dogma package would tell me they are evil, and of course I would blindly accept that. It would be totally beyond my abilities to grasp that what those others call the "scientific method" and "logic" and other such terms are anything other than arbitrary dogmas of a hostile faith. After all, faith is all I know -- all I can know, all anyone can know. Or so I've been told, and how can I figure out that I've been told a pack of lies?
It's not a pretty picture, but in most cases I think it's bang-on accurate. So I wouldn't classify creationists as being dishonest. They're frightened; they're desperate; and they're doing the best they can with what they have.
