1 " As the machinations of the end-time conspiracy seemed to become more involved, some fundamentalists felt a need to monitor the enemy. Conspiracy theorists share a passion for gathering and collating data matched only by professional intelligence agencies. In 1937, the fundamentalist Church League of America, in Wheaton, Illinois, began to compile dossiers on the enemies of Christ. By the late 1960s, the group claimed to have seven million index cards on subversives, a collection they said was second only to that of the FBI. An associate of Mclntire, Major Edgar C. Bundy, assumed control of the Church League of America in 1956. Using his experience as a former Air Force intelligence officer, Bundy built up a data bank the organization had inherited from J. B. Matthews, a former investigator for Senator McCarthy. "

2 " This fascination with calculating the size of Noah’s ark is similar to the attempts of the historical revisionists to disprove the Holocaust with computations of the capacity of gas chambers. Like the revisionists, the creationists engage in pseudoscholarship. By gathering thousands of facts and numbers and paying painstaking attention to details, they create the illusion that what they are doing is science. "
