Have you seen this? A peer reviewed journal for young earth creationism! Please tell me that someone out there is preparing some stiff opposition to this.
When this thing gets off the ground it will do a pretty good job of undermining scientific method and credibility. This may be even worse than recent scandals involving pharmaceutical industry funding of product research or petroleum industry scientists contradicting climatologists on global warming. Journals on the whole are losing their credibility because of various financial entanglements in a few key fields. This current attack is not going to help ecology and evolutionary biology one bit. As goes the reputation of journals, so goes the voices of reason. Can anyone think of a way to defend Aristotelian logic or all we all going to just watch placidly as the age of reason slips into the shadowy recesses of a new, albeit perhaps more subtle Dark Ages. Sincerely, Jim Sparks http://www.icr.edu/ijcr/index.html *International Journal for Creation Research * The Institute for Creation Research is pleased to announce the inaugural Call for Papers for the International Journal of Creation Research (IJCR). IJCR is a professional peer-reviewed journal of interdisciplinary scientific research that presents evidence for recent creation within a biblical framework. Addressing the need to disseminate the vast field of research conducted by experts in geology, genetics, astronomy, and other disciplines of science, IJCR provides scientists and students hard data based on cutting-edge research that demonstrates the young earth model, the global Flood, the non-evolutionary origin of the species, and other evidences that correlate to the biblical accounts. It is our hope that you will be encouraged in your study of creation science issues that remain at the forefront of education and research. Andrew A. Snelling Editor-in-Chief -- James L.
