ICR Research at a Glance
Investigating the science that confirms biblical creation
CET/Biological Design
Engineered Biological Design: developing an engineering-based model called continuous environmental tracking (CET) that emphasizes the incredible problem-solving abilities Christ designed into living creatures. It applies engineering principles to reveal how organisms successfully relate with their environments and with other organisms.

Genetics
Human Genome Project: disproving the myth that humans and chimps have 98% identical DNA
Chimp Genome Project: reconstructing the chimp genome without evolutionary assumptions
Climate
Refuting Milankovitch Project: exposing circular and inconsistent reasoning in secular methodologies
Pre-Flood Climate Project: reconstructing antediluvianconditions to confirm creation
Fossils
Dinosaur Proteins Project: characterizing the nature and extent of short-lived fossil biomaterials like intact vertebrate proteins and elements such as radiocarbon found inside dinosaur and other ancient bones
Geology
Column Project: analyzing rock layers globally to reconstruct the stages of the Genesis Flood and explain why certain fossils are found only in certain areas, and to determine the approximate topography of the pre-Flood world

A Legacy of Creation Science Research
For over 50 years, ICR has been the leader in scientific research from a biblical perspective, conducting innovative laboratory and field research in the major disciplines of science, as well as in ancient biblical studies. The institute’s mission has been to advance quality research that impacts our understanding of the creation model as described in Genesis.
Since ICR’s founding by Dr. Henry Morris in 1970, ICR scientists have endeavored to utilize their research to demonstrate the evidence for creation as understood in Scripture, with the ultimate goal of magnifying the Creator.
“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20)
