Van Andel Creation Research Center
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
The Van Andel Creation Research Center (VACRC) is a creation science research facility that was founded and is operated by the Creation Research Society. The VACRC was begun with funds from the Jay and Betty Van Andel Foundation, which also provided annual financial support to the Center. Jay Van Andel was one of the founders and owners of Amway Corporation. In providing the initial funds, Jay Van Andel said that he wanted to "give creationists a fighting chance."
The VACRC is located near a variety of biological and geological areas of great importance to the creationist community. It resides on five acres in north-central Arizona on U.S. Highway 89, five miles north of Chino Valley, Arizona. The center is within two hour of the Grand Canyon, high altitude mountain communities, and Sonoran Desert Saguaro cactus communities. It is surrounded by the desert grasslands and a large number of interesting volcanic features and close to the heavily-mineralized areas of Mingus and Bradshaw Mountains.
Creation scientists desiring to do research that could benefit from facility usage or support are encouraged to contact the Creation Research Society. For more information: visit the VACRC website.
