CSM’s History

The Creation Science Movement started in 1932, protesting about the influence of Darwin’s theory of evolution. In the late ‘20’s Darwinism was being used to support Racism and had become embedded in political justification being used by Stalin and Hitler, both of whom simply took evolution to its natural conclusion. In those days CSM was known of as the Evolution Protest Movement.

The prime movers were Mr. Douglas Dewar, barrister and Auditor General of the Indian Civil Service, and Captain Bernard Acworth, DSO who developed the asdic sonar device (Who’s Who). They called the first Creationist meeting (EPM) at 21 Essex Gardens, The Strand, London, in 1932. The first public meeting was reported in The Times on February 12, 1935. Sir Ambrose Fleming presided and what he said then still stands for what the Creation Science Movement believes in today.

He declared that ‘of late years the Darwinian anthropology had been forced on public attention by numerous books in such a fashion as to create a belief that it was a certainly settled scientific truth. The fact that many eminent naturalists did not agree that Darwin’s theory of species production had been established to be true was generally repressed. If there had been no creation, there was no need to assume any Creator; the chief basis for all religion was taken away and morality reduced to mere human expediency. ….  They said that the arguments of the Darwinian anthropologists were defective in logic and did not give the proof assumed.’  This was reported over 90 years ago!

in all these intervening years the evidence has continued to mounted up arguing that a Creator must have made planet Earth. There is a wealth of further scientific evidence supporting Creation which these eminent men in the early 1930s could not have known about. Advances which has made shown that the belief in evolution even less logical and is a belief devoid of fact.

CSM declares that the doctrine of original sin is not based on myth or fable but rather on the solid foundation of the ‘lively oracles’ of the Lord God. CSM declares that the beginning of God’s Word may be trusted as well as all that follows.
