Dear Brett,
Please type "institute for Cration Research" in your search window and go take a look.You will find many Bio-scientist and physical scientists there old as well as new.You will also find many interesting articles from the creation science point of view.
You want to know the truth, you can't handle the truth. (that's my best jack Nickolson impression hope you liked it).Anyhow it will give you a hint about some of the things creationist read and who we are.
Christians should be very wary of this sight, and especially of the older material.
The philosophy of this organization from the beginning is that the end justifies the means, and that any amount of distortion of the facts in order to prove their personal and extra-biblical conviction of a recently created earth is justified. I know this to be the case because, as a biologist, I have read much of their literature over a period of about 30 years and have continued to be appalled by their blatant lack of academic and Christian ethics in presenting and discussing scientific data. And of course they have come under severe fire from both Scientists and mainstream educated Christians for their junk science and willful distortion of the facts. Therefore, in more recent years their science has improved and they have become more careful in presenting their data, but they still have a long way to go to be considered scientifically credible or ethically acceptable.
For those who are not trained scientists and who desire to know for themselves whether or not competent scientists believe in a young earth, type into your computer search engine the names of the “scientists” who believe in the a young earth. If you will do this, you will find for yourself that NONE of them are employed ANY university that is noted for academic excellence in the sciences. Check out their degrees and where they got them and what their degrees are in and compare this information with what they are claiming to have knowledge of. Don’t take my word for any of this. Check out the facts for yourself!
</font>[/QUOTE]By the Sea, By the Sea, By the wonderful Sea is flat wrong. The Faculty and Adjunct Faculty of the ICR are shown below. A quick read of their degrees shows that they are well educated, none got their degrees by mail order!!!!
I met Dr. Henry Morris when I was an instructor at VPI and he was head of the Civil Engineering Department, a position he held for 13 years
Dr. Carl Fliermans is employed at the Savannah River National Laboratory where he is a distinguished scientist. If I am not mistaken he was instrumental in isolation the cause of Legionaires Disease.
Dr Russell Humphreys, is a retired scientist from Sandia National Laboratory where he worked on nuclear physics, geophysics, pulsed power research, theoretical atomic and nuclear physics and the Particle Beam Fusion Project. He is author of the book
Starlight and Time which I have mentioned previously on this forum.
