Funniest creationist article I've read in a long time!

Creationism "has made great strides?"
In what??!!??


Wanted: Young Creation Scientists

by Jake Hebert, Ph.D. *

ICR, together with the rest of the creation science movement, has made great strides in the last 40 years. In many areas, the superiority of the creation worldview has been clearly demonstrated. Even now, ICR is making exciting discoveries in the fields of biology and geology, and we have started new research initiatives in the field of astronomy. However, there is much work that still needs to be done, and this work is hindered by a lack of trained scientists.

I would imagine it's difficult to find 'trained scientists' who are willing to ignore logic, common sense and the facts, in order to 'make greater strides' in the non-science of 'the creation science movement'.

this means some will invariably engage in any number of ill considered things. The notion that all scientists are uniformly dedicated to logic and common sense denies the real intellectual diversity that exists in all groups of humans. Trust me, I have read the academic papers to prove this. Not even peer review flushes all of it out.

Precisely because the two concepts are mutually exclusive.

but as a biologist, I have probably met more biologists in my time. They were quite confused as the cognitive dissonance was rather large.
