The Institute for Creation Research

The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) is a research organization that promotes the view that the universe, Earth, and life were created relatively recently, typically within a few thousand years, based on a literal interpretation of the Bible’s accounts. It combines scientific-sounding research and education with a biblical worldview, arguing against mainstream scientific consensus on evolution and the age of the Earth. While it produces articles, books, and educational materials, its approach and conclusions are often viewed as controversial within the scientific community, which generally supports evolutionary biology and an ancient Earth.
