Changes

During the 1930's Prof. Arthur Pierson Kelley became increasingly concerned with what he regarded as the "fundamentalism" of the [[Theory of Evolution]] in the scientific community. He compared this fundamentalism to that which can be found in numerous religions and felt that [[creationism]] could be reconciled with current scientific facts. He also saw the spiritual aspect of human thought as an essential tool for interpreting the world and as being equally important and beneficial as the scientific method. His view was not so much that science and spirituality are in conflict; but that they are both equally necessary and complement each other.

From the 1930's the [[Evolution Protest Movement]] had become more vocal and visible in the [[United Kingdom]], in particular [[England]]. Prof. Kelley saw in this movement a possible answer to his concern about the balance of debate in [[America]]. Largely inspired by the British anti-evolution movement, Prof. Arthur Pierson Kelly founded and later became the principle ideologue of the [[Creationist Society]] of the [[United States]].

During the period when the culture of the United States was moving away from the moral and ethical restraints of the 1940's and 1950's and toward the ''laissez faire'' attitudes of the 1960's and 1970's, Prof. Kelley's attempts to transplant the anti-evolution movement to American soil were not fruitful. Though the [[United States]] would later become fertile soil for this ideology, Prof. Arthur Pierson Kelley would not live to see it for himself.
