Dear Kentucky friends,

Ken Ham, formerly of the Institute for Creation Research and now with
Florence, KY - based "Back to Genesis" ministry, is applying for a permit
to erect a large creation science museum just outside of Big Bone Lick
State park in Boone county.

We have just found out that the permit hearing will be held tomorrow,
Wednesday, August 28, at 7:00 PM at the Administration Building on highway
18 ("main street") in Burlington, KY, in the Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting.

Bodies are needed at the meeting to protest this action.  Imagine
individuals coming into or out of Big Bone Lick, with its fossil
Pleistocene displays, and "learning" from Ham that actually, those
mammoths lived with the dinosaurs and people before the Flood....
Stopping this museum would go a great distance to help science literacy
in Kentucky, and even elsewhere, as people from other states also visit
this site.

Please contact Edwin Kagin, 606 384 2324 (Lexington) (office in Maysville:
606 564-8370) and let him know you can help.

It is important that you contact at least three other people and inform
them about this event.  Forward this e-mail to as many people as you can,
and don't forget the people who are not so connected.

Please help as much as you can with your own presence as well as that of
your friends and associates.

(other NCSE members at UK could also be contacted, but I do not
have e-mail addresses.  Please pass this on to

Allen Moore (Entomology)
Isabel Mellon (Markey Cancer)
Edmund Brodie (biol)
Wayne DAvis (biol)
Jess Weil (physics)


Thanks.

ECS
