The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) news article for 23 August 2010 highlights a slight difference in plate tectonic movement rates to prove that their catastrophic plate tectonics model is feasible. Their claims are based on computer modeling, programmed by a YEC theorist, who wrote the programming to prove the Flood! Naturally, biased programming yields biased results. In reality, YEC proponents have no hard scientific evidence to back up their claims, whereas science has hard evidence of plate movements to prove the old age of the earth. Click here for more.

The Institute for Creation Research is making a claim that Noah’s Flood killed the dinosaurs in a massive Canadian dinosaur graveyard. When you peel back the claims and examine the research from the actual scientists who studied the graveyard, there is no actual proof that it was Noah’s Flood. Click here for more.

The Institute for Creation Research has noted that it was the target of a joke aimed at creationists. Unfortunately, this will continue as long as young earth creationism is part of the church. For an explanation of why this is true, click here.

The Institute for Creation Research’s daily article for 12 April claims that the world’s oldest trees support the claim that the earth is young (implying that all trees are younger than the Flood of Noah. When you consider all the evidence, however, their claim is false. Click here to read the response to this claim.

The Institute for Creation Research has published a claim based on a new fossil amphibian. The fossil is merely a tool used by ICR to rehash some old claims for their young earth theory, claims which have already been disproven. To read more, click here.

Unfortunately for young earth creationism, the existence of a wind-blown desert sandstone right in the middle of supposed Noah’s Flood rock layers is an unsurmountable problem. In this review, the evidence for a wind-blown desert sandstone is revealed, and it comes from an unusual source…the young earth creationists themselves! Click here to read this review.

A new study shows how pterosaurs landed, and the Institute for Creation Research tries to use this to show how evolution could not account for the development of the landing technique of these animals. The explanation fails to explain why there is a landing trackway in sediments deposited by Noah’s Flood. Click here to read the article.

In a classic example of young earth deception, Brian Thomas of the Institute for Creation Research misleads his readers concerning the report of dinosaurs surviving past the end of the Cretaceous Period. Judging from the source material that he used, he must have willfully decided to ignore the scientific data in an effort to argue for a young earth. Apparently, it is more important to argue for a young earth than it is to be truthful in reporting the facts. Click here to read the rebuttal.

The Institute for Creation Research is claiming that new stratigraphic data proves that an asteroid did not kill off the dinosaurs. When you examine their claims, it is found out that while the research in question does raise doubts, it does not eliminate an asteroid from the theory. Click here for more.

Brian Thomas of the Institute for Creation Research reports on the discovery of stone blades that date to 500,000 years ago. This pushes the development of these blades back by 200,000+ years. Does this mean that anthropologists are “frustrated” by this discovery, as Thomas claims? Click here to read the rebuttal.

Scientists believe that the early earth, prior to 2.5 billion years ago, did not have an oxygen-rich atmosphere. The Institute for Creation Research reported today that there is a recent discovery of oxygen-rich rocks from 3.46 billion years ago, and they claim this is proof that the earth always had an oxygen atmosphere.
