Americans and Religion

[Munkay]

There is a group of people called the Institute of Creation Research who publish a great deal of literature that is aimed at calling into question the age of the earth in particular. What your friend asserts sounds like something out of one of their pamphlets. Needless to say, they haven't quite stormed the bastions of science, and pillaged the village of research, and burned the libraries of accumulated discovery.

Oh the ICR! They regularly hand out their pamphlets to BU students, especially in front of our science buildings. One week when their presence was particularly heavy, our chaplin made a small speech during a weekday service - the answers aren't found in using science to combat science, but faith to combat science.

Kind of depressing when you're own religious group fails to back you up, eh?

Cheers,

Munk
