... from the same people who declare that the Universe is only about 6000 years old:

"In the beginning about 6,000 years ago, Jesus Christ created the heavens and the earth out of nothing, or ex nihilo, ..."

I.e. the Institute for Creation Research hasn't changed its primary message since the days of Henry Morris and Duane Gish.

Sorry, but I haven't been able to believe anything they claim since reading a bunch of their materials in the late 1980s. Far too much of their "science" for which I have independent knowledge (mostly physics, astronomy, and cosmology) is seriously distorted, misstated, twisted out of context, and displaying many others sins.

 

When I was a grad student, there was a local guy who was a university employee—he worked in facilities maintenance, but being an employee was enough to be the "staff adviser" of a student creationist group, and about once a semester they would reserve a lecture room and he would give a public lecture using pretty much ICR talking points. (I hadn't heard of ICR before, but discovered them as I traced his talking points back.)

Mostly undergrads would attend, but there would usually be some curious grad students in the back of the room, and I remember some entertaining moments, like when he used a talking point about something biological science was still nowhere near figuring out, and some bio grad student in back raised his or her hand and said "we have an undergrad bio class where we assign the students to do that in one of their labs, which I grade, and most of them do just fine".
