 Recently, a Mr. Ken Ham, formerly of the Institute for Creation Research,
moved to northern Kentucky. He is now appearing in various fundamentalist
churches in the region promoting creationism and specifically claiming
that dinosaurs and humans lived together until sometime after Noah's Flood.
His operation here seems rather well-financed; and I fear we will eventually
see his followers try to influence local school boards and state textbooks.
    Earlier this month, a group of fundamentalists distributed 50,000 copies
of a newspaper called "Kentucky Christian News" to churches, groceries,
restaurants, and other locations here in central Kentucky.  The January
issue features Ken Ham and his plans to build a large "creation" museum in
northern Kentucky.  He is apparently well along in funding; he claims that
he already has 40 full-sized dinosaurs for the museum.  In a feature article
by Ham, he blames everything from abortion to pedophilia on teaching
evolution in the schools. His proposed museum is being billed as "Jurassic
Park's greatest nightmare."
    There are only a few people willing to actively oppose creationism in
this state.  A well-organized and financed push could easily harm what little
that passes for science education in Kentucky.  However, I think that
if enough people order Ham's 25-page free book and don't give him a monetary
donation it may slow him down a little.  To get a free copy of his book and
more information on his proposed museum, call toll-free 1-800-950-9507.
Call often and cost him money!!! I havn't seen his booklet yet, but if it
reflects his sermons on local access cable then you are in for a shock. Ham
tells audiences that _T. rex_ was originally a vegetarian until Adam bit the
apple. (I guess those 7" long serrated teeth were good for busting coconuts).
Oh well... at least order his book and don't send him a penny.
