I'm not an accountant, and I've not previously seen a six-month Form 990 (though I have seen non-calendar-year Form 990s).<br /><br />I will proceed to do what creationists almost never do, and apologize for and post a correction to my error.Lippardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826768452963498005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-38576313151281191152006-12-30T09:31:00.000-07:002006-12-30T09:31:00.000-07:00Uh ...

Mr. Lippard might want to actually READ the Form 990 before publishing his gleeful, foam-at-the-mouth conclusions about AiG.<br /><br />If he actually would take this unprecedented-for-a-typical-skeptic step, he would have noticed this little phrase at the top of the Form 990 ...<br /><br />"For the calendar year 2005, or tax year beginning Jan 1, 2005 and ending Jun 30, 2005."<br /><br /><b>IT'S A SIX MONTH REPORT, YOU ROCKET SCIENTISTS!</b><br /><br />No wonder you guys have swallowed the Grand ToE Fairy Tale. You can't even read a report.<br /><br />This is so blatant, I will be creating a blog post of my own at airdave.blogspot.com to give the Lippard blog a little publicity.<br /><br />I will also be commenting on this at Panda's Thumb (After the Bar Closes) where I have been shining a spotlight on ToE Nonsense for many months under the name "afdave".bizbrokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18227155108871841823noreply@blogger.com
