Abstract
We share with the RATE team the fundamental belief in the doctrine of creation and we unite with them in worshiping God our Creator. We agree that an accurate study of God's book of nature will reveal a story of the creation that is complementary and not contradictory to the inspired book of Scriptures. As an important step toward quality in such a scientific endeavor, we encourage the RATE team to ensure that all work is published in relevant peer-reviewed technical literature prior to being publicly claimed as a scientific result. Henry Morris, Jr., writing in an appendix to the introduction in the RATE Vol. II report, deems it sufficient to obtain reviews from those preselected to be committed to a young-earth conclusion.
