Access Research Network (ARN), based in Colorado Springs, evolved from an earlier creationist organisation, Students for Origins Research (SOR). SOR was founded in 1977 by a group of students at the University of California at Santa Barbara as an "alternative view" to both the Young Earth Creationist Institute for Creation Research and the scientific establishment. Its approach differed from the former (and similar creationist organisations) in that it did not require adherence to scriptural authority and a specific model as to the age of the Earth, potentially avoiding the chronic conflicts that this produced with the scientific community, and hoped to foster a relationship of dialogue rather than debate. In this it was an early advocate of Neo-Creationism.
