Regular readers of net.origins are well aware of the ICR and its claims.

The scientific facts are that the "science" coming from the ICR is ludicrous.
It is regularly discussed here in net.origins.  If you would like to bring
up some of those arguments, please feel welcome.  But be prepared to defend
them.

My statement still holds true: those who believe in the (purported) authority
of Genesis are the sole proponents of creationism.  Even if they are also
biologists, chemists, or physicists.
