Statements such as "Related to biological evolution is the concept that the universe began with a ``big bang'' and that only later were the sun and the planets formed." or the 6 billion year age for the earth (off by 1/3 as much as young earth dates) don't promote good science education.

The ICR's influence apparently extends to many who think that they
disagree with them. These journalists seem to think that anything to which
the ICR is opposed must surely be part of Darwin's theory. I find it
ironic that the Big Bang Theory, rejected by many earlier in this century
because it seemed to imply creation, should be linked with a theory that
has been said to make it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled
atheist.
