APPLY FOR A MEMBERSHIP

As a scientific society, it was deemed at the outset that government of the Creation Research Society (CRS) should be in the hands of scientists. Thus, the category of voting member was established with the additional qualification that the person hold an earned post-graduate degree in a recognized area of science. All remaining categories are non-voting. For those who have an interest in origins but lack the advanced science degree, sustaining membership is available. Future Leader memberships (those enrolled full time in high school, undergraduate or graduate studies) are available for free. For institutions (such as schools, libraries, churches, etc.), or for those individuals who cannot in good conscience agree with the statement of faith, the category of subscriber has been provided.

Start the Application Process

Do you agree with the Statement of Belief below?

1. The Bible is the written Word of God, and because it is inspired throughout, all its assertions are historically and scientifically true in the original autographs. To the student of nature this means that the account of origins in Genesis is a factual presentation of simple historical truths.

2. All basic types of living things, including man, were made by direct creative acts of God during the Creation Week described in Genesis. Whatever biological changes have occurred since Creation Week have accomplished only changes within the original created kinds.

3. The great flood described in Genesis, commonly referred to as the Noachian Flood, was an historic event worldwide in its extent and effect.

4. We are an organization of Christian men and women of science who accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. The account of the special creation of Adam and Eve as one man and one woman and their subsequent fall into sin is the basis for our belief in the necessity of a Savior for all mankind. Therefore, salvation can come only through accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior.
