Research
The central core of ICR’s mission is scientific research, which formed the basis of our founding in 1970 by Dr. Henry M. Morris. A respected scientist in his own field of hydrology, which led to the publication of The Genesis Flood in 1961, Dr. Morris saw clearly that good science—the proper handling and interpretation of scientific evidence—would demonstrate the veracity of the biblical accounts of Creation and the Flood. For nearly forty years, ICR scientists have conducted innovative research in the areas of flood geology, plate tectonics, catastrophic flood sedimentation, radiometric dating, cosmology, DNA analysis, and others. With oversight by the ICR Research Council, scientists from around the world participate in laboratory, field, and literature research in keeping with ICR’s mission to study, teach, and communicate the wonders of God’s creation. ICR maintains laboratory facilities on its campus in Dallas, Texas.
