• Affiliation of Christian Biologists was formed in 1990 for fellowship among Christian biologists; for exchange of ideas and equipment for effective teaching; to network biologists who teach in Christian colleges and universities; to provide a supportive environment for those engaged in teaching and research in non-Christian contexts; and as a forum for discussion of problems and issues unique to the integration of biology and Christian thought.
• Affiliation of Christian Geologists was formed in 1989 to promote the integrity of geology as a scientific discipline, to investigate the ways in which Christian faith and geology bear upon one another, to educate the Christian public about geology, to witness to non-Christian geologists, to promote Christian stewardship and service in the geological sphere, and to provide intellectual leadership at the interface between Christian and geologic thought.
• American Scientific Affiliation (founded 1941) is a fellowship of men and women of science, and disciplines that can relate to science, who share a common fidelity to the Word of God and a commitment to integrity in the practice of science.
• Answers in Genesis is an evangelistic organization dedicated to spreading the truths of the book of Genesis through seminars, radio broadcasts and publications. In addition to proclaiming the truths of Genesis, AIG endeavors to show that a false view of origins (i.e., evolution) is at the foundation of many of our social ills.
