A Visit to the Institute for Creation Research
Part One
by Karen Bartelt
On January 9, 1998, a group of about 25 skeptics visited the
"Museum of Creation and Earth History" run by the Institute for Creation
Research in Santee, CA. This tour was a part of a workshop entitled
"Creation/Evolution" which was sponsored by the Committee for the Scientific
Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. The ICR staff was made aware that our group
would be visiting the museum, and they suggested an introductory lecture followed by a
tour of the museum.
The lecture was given by geologist Dr. Steve Austin, who showed us a
video which he said was also shown at the Mt. St. Helens visitor center. The St. Helens
eruption was described in accurate detail, and there was a great emphasis on the
velocities of the mudflows, and the amounts of material that were removed and deposited
elsewhere. More |
