Martin,

I do not know the arrangements that the church had with Dr. Harrub.
It is my strong suspicion that the church did pay him.
I say this because I did hear him remark that he has a full schedule of 
similar presentations before him and that is his means of income.

Thank you for mentioning the Creation Museum in Lexington.  I was not aware 
of its existence and will try to visit it should the opportunity avail.
