Answers in Genesis Peer Reviewed Journal

Here's a fun one! Answers in Genesis is now launching a peer-reviewed journal. The idea is to circumvent that claim that the evidence they present for creation, biblical stuff, etc does not endure rigorous peer-reviewed scrutiny.

In being both service oriented and pretty sharp, I am frequently sought for scholarly peer review. I thought I owed it to science to throw my hat into the ring and volunteer as an Associate Editor or perhaps reviewer.

In reading the Instructions to Authors I read the following:

By working closely with your editor you will better ensure final acceptance of your paper and help the ARJ editorial staff in ensuring accurate publication of your paper. Working with your editor builds an effective partnership whose goal is to ensure that the Creation and Flood model is given the best possible development by all concerned.

So there you have it. Your papers are acceptable as long as they fit the conclusions. Anti-science.

These groups continue to subvert the scientific process, starting with a conclusion and working back to evidence to support it. That is exactly the opposite of how it really works. This is anti-scientific, anti-logic, and the scientifically illiterate Americans will eat it up as legitimate validation of their beliefs.

I wonder what they will cite for references?
