Sorry, Dan, but the ICR is a joke.  It is simply untrue that there is as much
scientific evidence behind creationism (*not* theory) as there is in evolution.
I knew a guy in graduate school (in physics at the Univ. of Calif.) who was
a creationist; the more he learned, the more he realized what a mediocre bunch
of frustrated gospel artists the ICR really was.  Please look into the ICR a
bit closer.  I have read some of their reports, and at least from the physics
papers they write, it is all B.S.
