“Rally for Reason” Protests “Creation Museum” in Kentucky

Long-time reader Rob Sica asked that I call attention to the upcoming "Rally for Reason" in Kentucky:

People from all over
the country are invited to join outside of the gates of “Answers in
Genesis” (AiG) in Northern Kentucky to let the world know that many
rational Americans do not share the primitive world view that the Earth
is only a few thousand years old, and that humans and dinosaurs existed
at the same time, as presented by the 27 million dollar plus “Creation
Museum” opening Memorial Day, May 28, 2007.  Various groups, representing
both religious and secular orientations, will join together to protest
this destructive world view.
