Well, actually it seems you can. From the same folks who bring us the Creation Museum in Knuckle Drag, Kentucky we now have a peer reviewed journal of Scientific papers anchored in creationist science.
"I’m not making this up, I swear. “Answers in Genesis,” the same nonsensical outlet that has given us Ken Ham’s “Creation Museum,” recently launched a “peer reviewed” “technical” journal, called, of course, “Answers Research Journal.” The idea, we learn from the “About” section of the journal’s web page, is to provide an outlet for “interdisciplinary scientific and other relevant research from the perspective of the recent Creation and the global Flood within a biblical framework.” See, apparently “there has been a pressing need for such a journal,” because “people want to know they can trust what is published on the Internet,” and they “can give you absolute assurance that the papers we will be publishing in Answers Research Journal are of the highest scientific and theological standard.” Of course, a high theological standard is a bit of an oxymoron, but let’s not quibble on the details."
I checked out the web site and the first thing I stumble across here: www.answersingenesis.org/arj/
is a paper on Catastrophic Granite Formation ( www.answersingenesis.org/artic...ation) which suggests - no PROVES - that batholithic granites can emplace into country rock and cool in periods of hundred of years.
With this in mind have a laugh. The reading's worth it.

Re: You Can't Make This Stuff Up....
Mon, February 25, 2008 - 5:37 PMI visited the Creation Museum several months after it opened, and I encourage others to visit. Ignore these people at your own peril and at the peril of the future of education in the United States. It amazed, impressed, and depressed me to see the kinds of pseudointellectual acrobatics the museum creators (curators?) developed in trying to reconcile literal interpretations of mythology with observed geology. I also signed up for the AIG e-newsletter, and now I get weekly installments of comedy gold in my inbox. -

A vigil *should* be kept. If one's to be their heretic then ought know their dogma.
That's why I signed up for a Google alert for 'creationist museum.'
Cheers. -

Sat, March 1, 2008 - 11:36 AMThey have a link for submitting papers. I bet their peer review is not nearly as rigorous as in the genuine scientific literature community. That suggests the potential to prank them with a fake paper, though the results of such a prank could backfire if people blindly accept anything published on the site. -
