	The ICR is not an accepted scientific organization,
and it was most definately founded on religious ground not
scientific. In fact it is closely associated with Dr Morris
who is a *minister* not a scientist(he is pastor of
a church not far from here).  I would be very surprised to
find out that any members of that organization are not *also*
members of the orthodox/fundamentalist wing of some religion
which accepts the authority of Genisis, which is what it would
take to establish that it is *not* a religious "theory".
	If the "scientific" evidence for creationism you are talking
about is the stuff I have seen(the SOR pamphlets, other tracts,
and a couple of "scientific" books) it is totally worthless.
