Abstract
The American Scientific Affiliation (ASA) began many decades ago as an organization of science-minded Christians interested in defending Scripture against the onslaughts of evolutionism. At first many, perhaps most of them, were young-earth creationists, such as Dr. Henry M. Morris, Jr. But the doctrinal statement of the organization was loose enough to admit theistic evolutionists and other types of long-age believers. When such people became a majority of the ASA membership, they took over and began excluding young-earthers from having influence in the organization.
