Ron Wyatt failed a lie detector test:

“One of the individuals who I interviewed, who lost
approximately 30,000 thousand dollars to Ron Wyatt, went to Israel with him,
supposedly to see some of these sights and record them on film. An assignment
editor of a major television station in Nasheville
went with them. Not only did this individual not see any of these incredible
discoveries, but his wife was told by one of Ron Wyatt's sons that the chariot
wheels that Ron supposedly discovered in the Gulf of Aqaba were planted there
by Ron. Mr. Wyatt gave this couple some coins which he supposedly found at the
Ark of the Covenant site. Again, one of Wyatt's sons informed the wife that
Wyatt bought those coins. Gentle, soft-spoken Ron verbally abused an Arab car
rental agent when the agent told Mr. Wyatt that his son was to young to drive the vehicle.
This couple and the television man returned with nothing to show
for the ten's of thousands of dollars he gave to Ron.
Later, Ron returned and asked for $10,000 dollars more. This man told Ron he would give him the money if he agreed to take a
lie detector test and sign a statement agreeing to allow this man to use the
results of the test any way he wanted. Ron tried to get the money without
agreeing to take the test, but when he saw that he would not get another dime
without the test, he finally signed the statement and took the test. In the
words of the man who put Ron Wyatt through the test, as told by the man who
gave Ron Wyatt all the previous money, "He
failed just about everything except his name."
“After this, Ron Wyatt physically threatened the man who had
Wyatt sign the statement. I also found out one of the so-called scientific
apparatuses Ron Wyatt used to determine that he verified the true Noah's Ark,
was a device advertised in the back of treasure hunter magazines. It was
nothing but a glorified "divining rod." It had absolutely no
scientific value whatsoever, yet leading ancient antiquities professors,
Creation Science people with advanced degrees in geology, and newsmen fell for
a modern version of the old water "divining rod."
“But I had an obligation to those who read Dew and receive
Tentmaker material to search the matter further. It cost several days of time
and probably hundreds of dollars, but it uncovered the lie which was so
beautifully packaged. This scam had its beginning as early as 25 years ago. It
is still going on, ever increasing in deception. Many leaders in the Christian
community know it is a lie, yet they keep their mouths shut either because they
do not want people to know they fell for it, or because they made money
themselves from it, or because they are running a small version of a scam
themselves and just don't want people to get too disgusted with things like
this because it might shut down their little scam.”
“I have to admit, I believed this man was telling the truth.
Should you see the video, you will see that it was put together very well and
Ron Wyatt certainly deserves an Emmy for his performance. I have never seen
such an amazing performance in my life.”
“I hope you understand the reason I am writing this story is
really not to expose one man, Ron Wyatt. There are thousands of Ron Wyatt's in
the Christian community. One of them may be in your pulpit. What I want to
expose is what causes us to fall for these kind of
schemes.
After I listened to the tapes and read the books, listened to
Ron Wyatt give his explanations on the telephone for an hour, talked to his
wife a couple of times, and spend almost an hour with the wife of one of Ron
Wyatt's associates, I believed Ron Wyatt was telling the truth. I could not
call him a liar. Everything about him seemed very Christ-like. His videos
showed well known people support his views.
