Institute for Creation Research
From RationalWiki
- Were you looking for pseudoscience?
The Institute for Creation Research is a faux-research organization that produces voluminous quote mines and logical fallacies in pursuit of debunking evolution and an old earth. They are essentially a bunch of cranks who want to undermine science education and eventually turn the United States into a young earth, creationist, dominionist society. It was formed in 1972 and has since gone on to be practically the centre of the anti-evolution movement and possibly the general anti-science movement in the US.

[edit] "Courses" offered by ICR
Beginning in the early 80s, the institute has offered "courses" in biology, astro/geophysics, geology and general science in their graduate "school."[1] In fact, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board rejected the institute's on-line master's degree as the degree would not qualify as a science or science education program. Of course, the poor oppressed creationists just think everyone is biased against them.[2]
