Late 20th CenturyInstitute for Creation Research
Our MissionICR equips believers with evidence of the Bible's accuracy and authority through scientific research, educational programs, and media presentations, all conducted within a thoroughly biblical framework

ICR began as the research division of Christian Heritage College, now known as San Diego Christian College. The heart of ICR and the vision of our late founder, Dr. Henry M. Morris, is to conduct scientific research and gather evidences in support of biblical truth, especially on the issue of origins.

The Unfortunate current use of Intelligent Design
Intelligent Design used by both theMedia &Young Earth Advocates
Intelligent Design is said to imply great complexity.
In Reality natural design, though complex, isextremely simple in function. Dbeau, 2008

Oceanic Crust: dark colored dense rocky top of the mantle about 5 miles thick

Continental Crust: light colored less dense than oceanic “floats” on the mantle from 25 to 50 miles thick

Continental Crust must berenewed periodically because:
Why? To maintain land above sea level! Erosion over time will sweep all the continents into the sea.

Continental Crust must berenewed periodically because
Continents could be “leveled” by erosion because: 3/5th of earth is oceans, 3 miles deep while only 2/5th of earth is continents, ½ mile high
