2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

The Geoscience Research Institute is an organ of the Seventh Day Adventist Church that advocates a creationist viewpoint in Earth sciences. It is based on the campus of Loma Linda University in southern California. The name is very misleading as they try to make the GRI sound like an actual Geology research group. In addition to sponsoring research, they publish magazines on the internet that question Darwinism, Naturalism and every other school of thought that disregards creationism. Their small staff includes Intelligent design and creationism promoter Timothy Standish.[2][3][4] They have branch offices in France, Argentina, Mexico, South Korea, and two offices in Brazil.[2]

The organization's irregularly published journal, Origins, is thinly veiled creationist propaganda masquerading as science.[5]
