Creation Science Fellowship of New Mexico

About Us

Statement of Mission

The Creation Science Fellowship of New Mexico (CSFNM) is a Not-for-Profit [501(3)(c) State tax exemption] Science-Oriented Organization (supported by private gifts and donations) of a Christian Fellowship of scientists and laypeople devoted to understanding and explaining origins as revealed by scientific discovery and Biblical truth. We are a volunteer administration conducted by an elected Board of Directors and are subject to a Constitution and By-Laws.  CSFNM is devoted to:

  • Educating the public about the importance of creation in relation to its scientific, social and spiritual values.
  • Promoting and encouraging creation research.
  • Presenting the vast scientific evidences for Biblical creation.
  • Presenting the true account of origins as revealed in Scripture.

CSFNM is a special association of degreed scientists and science-minded Christians, who agree that the Scriptures are the baseline for all science disciplines and our worldview.  Members are from various church organizations state-wide.  We are not a Church Congregation and we do not claim to scientifically prove the Bible.  Membership is open to all individuals, families, or organizations provided that they agree with our CSFNM Statement of Mission. The Mission Statement and our Position of Creation Science  belief and operation under the Scientific Method can be found by typing in “Mission”, or “Mission Statement”, and/or “Scientific Method” in the oval “search resources“  shown at the top of our Home page.

Active members can request CSFNM for speakers (at no charge, or a free-will gift offering to cover speaker’s expenses) to come to their Church, Private School, or Organization to present any Creation Science related topics.  Membership in CSFNM is available for $10 a year for family, individual or Organization. As a member, you are entitled to a discount at our Book Table and full voting privileges.  A member can also use some of our resources as a “lending library” and (as noted above) request speakers.

All general Monthly Meetings are open to the public and free of charge. This a time that folks can ask questions and discuss with Creation minded scientists concerning the Observable Universe and what the Bible has to say about these things, such as the beginning, earth’s history in the sciences, and present time observations and investigations.

Donations to support our Research Projects are always welcome.  Donations may be given at any of our Monthly General Meetings or mailed to our treasurer, John Doughty at

6627 Deerbourne RD. NW, Albuquerque, NM 87114-4738

Our Research Project results are open for anyone to use without cost.
