Creationist cults. The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) is one such cult which by my investigations does little -- if any -- scientific research, publishes no scientific peer- reviewed materials in any serious science journal, and appears to be staffed by self-proclaimed 'professors' and 'doctors' which appear to lack any discernable scientific credentials in the many fields within which they pontificate. Freakishly, members of the ICR cult are reportedly required to sign a bizarre statement of religious belief in the contemporary versions of the classical Christanic mythologies, in direct denial to what their own senses and reason tell them -- to hell with science. Their beliefs would be perfectly acceptable if they kept them to themselves however this cult threatens to try to get their occultism taught as scientific fact in the public schools and in colleges around the United States. For that audacity they must be opposed with reason and science.

The case of Swami Premananda exemplifies how an innocent person can become a victim of a fabricated and manipulated slander campaign by the yellow press and a credulous public.

the independent investigations group investigates fringe science, paranormal and extraordinary claims from a rational, scientific viewpoint, and disseminates factual information about such inquiries to the public.
