The [[American Scientific Affiliation]] (ASA) was founded in the early 1940s as an organization of orthodox Christian scientists.<ref>Numbers (2006) p. 181</ref>  Although its original leadership favored [[Biblical literalism]] and it was intended to be anti-evolutionary, it rejected the creationist theories propounded by [[George McCready Price]] ([[young Earth creationism]]) and [[Harry Rimmer]] ([[gap creationism]]), and it was soon moving rapidly in the direction of [[theistic evolution]], with some members "stopping off" on the less [[Fundamentalist–Modernist Controversy|Modernist]] view that they called "progressive creationism." It was a view developed in the 1930s by [[Wheaton College (Illinois)|Wheaton College]] graduate [[Russell L. Mixter]].<ref>Numbers (2006) pp. 194–95</ref> In 1954 Baptist theologian and [[Christian apologist]] [[Bernard Ramm]] (an associate of the inner circle of the ASA) wrote ''The Christian View of Science and Scripture'', advocating Progressive Creationism which did away with the necessity for a [[young Earth creationism|young Earth]], a [[Genesis flood|global flood]] and the recent appearance of humans.<ref>Numbers (2006) p. 208</ref>
