	Anyone peeking at Musuem-L the past few days? Interesting 
"discussion" about the Creation Musuem opening in 2007 in Kentucky 
and then moving on and on. Not the first time for Musuem L.

High-tech museum brings creationism to life
The $25 million Creation Museum is based on a literal interpretation 
of the Bible that contends God created the heavens and the earth just 
a few thousand years ago.

Read last paragraph; nice wording referring to Ham's belief that 
Genesis tells the story of evolution on Earth.

If you don't make it:

"Genesis is not science," said Mary Dawson, curator emeritus of 
vertebrate paleontology at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in 
Pittsburgh. "Genesis is a tale that was handed down for generations 
by people who really knew nothing about science, who knew nothing 
about natural history, and certainly knew nothing about what fossils 
were."

Unfortunately the site will not be open in October for a field trip from ASTC.
