The Creation Science Movement was originally founded in 1932 as the Evolution Protest Movement, making it the oldest creationist movement in history. The organization's purpose was and continues to be to protest Darwin's theory of evolution and the subsequent effects of atheistic humanism. [1] Prior to the EPM (Evolution Protest Movement), British creationists were divided and not organized. Not only was the EPM the first to organize scientific creationists in England, but it was also the first creationist organization in the world. The Evolution Protest Movement was founded by Mr. Douglas Dewar, Captain Bernard Acworth, and Sir John Ambrose Fleming in England. These men were leading members of the Victoria Institute that were concerned about the scientific, ethical, and theological repercussions following the acceptance of evolutionary theory.[2][3][4] Mr. Douglas Dewar was a barrister and published ornithologist.[5] Captain Bernard Acworth, DSO developed the ASDIC sonar device, was a writer, and carried on a correspondence with well-known author C.S. Lewis. In his correspondence with Lewis, Acworth explained the faults in evolutionary theory, influencing Lewis to express doubt over the validity of that theory.[6][7] Sir John Ambrose Fleming, an English physicist and electrical engineer, was credited with the invention of the thermionic valve.[8][9] The first meeting of this new Creationist organization occurred at 21 Essex Gardens, The Strand, London, in 1932.[10] On February 12, 1935, Sir Ambrose Fleming presided over the first public meeting of the EPM with over 600 attendants.[11] There he declared that Darwinian theory did not have enough scientific evidence and that the characteristics of man, the intellectually, spiritual, and physical aspects, were not evident in animals. He also suggested that by accepting the evolutionary point of view, mankind was denying religion and therefore morality.[12] Since the time of this declaration and the beginning of the movement, the Evolution Protest Movement changed its name to the Creation Science Movement and has since continued to fulfill its initial purpose for more than 70 years.

The Genesis Expo, also called the Genesis Exhibition, is the largest creationist museum in the UK. Run by the Creation Science Movement (or CSM), it's located in Portsmouth, England, by the railway station at Portsmouth Harbor.[13]The museum is open from 10:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. on Tuesdays through Sundays. The expo consists of a video room, 12 main displays, and a genuine clutch of fossilized eggs. The displays are creation-themed dioramas that discuss the impossibility of life forming from chemicals, how modern forms and fossil counterparts are still the same, the possibility of geological sediments being laid down rapidly, how genetics prove that all people descend from one man and woman, and many other topics. The dioramas have accompanying commentaries that can be heard on earphones provided by the museum.[14] Along with their displays, the museum offers a selection of books and videos that conform to the views held by the CSM.[15] The Genesis Expo is an important and valuable resource and display of creation science.
