| | | | Darwin on Trial: Encyclopedia II - Teach the Controversy - Criticisms
Teach the Controversy - Teach the Controversy.
The theory of evolution is accepted by the vast majority of biologists and by the scientific community in general. Such controversies as do exist concern the details of the mechanisms of evolution, not the validity of the over-arching theory of evolution.
For example the National Association of Biology Teachers in a statement endorsing evolution as noncontroversial quoted Theodosius Dobzhansky "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution." ...

| | | | Darwin on Trial: Encyclopedia II - Discovery Institute - Criticisms of the institute At the foundation of most criticism of the Discovery Institute is the charge that the institute and its Center for Science and Culture intentionally misrepresent or omit many important facts in promoting their agenda. Intellectual dishonesty, in the form of misleading impressions created by the use of rhetoric, intentional ambiguity, and misrepresented evidence, form the foundation of most of the criticisms of the institute. It is alleged that its goal is to lead an unwary public to reach certain conclusions, and that many have been deceived ...

Its economics and legal programs advocate tort reform, lower taxation, and reduced eco ...

| | | | Darwin on Trial: Encyclopedia II - Discovery Institute - Funding The institute is a non-profit educational foundation funded by philanthropic foundation grants, corporate and individual contributions and the dues of Institute members. Contributions made to it are tax deductible, as provided by law.
The institute does not provide details about its backers, out of "harassment" fears according to Chapman. A review of tax documents on www.guidestar.org [7], a Web site that collects data on foundations, showed grants and gifts totalling $4.1 million in 2003, the most recent year available. This is in co ...

The Discovery Institute's Teach the Controversy campaign's strategy has been centered around attempts at the local and state level to undermine or remove altogether evolutionary theory from the public school science classroom by portraying it as "controversial" and "in crisis"; to having the ...

| | | | Darwin on Trial: Encyclopedia II - Teach the Controversy - Political action The Discovery Institute aggressively promotes its Teach the Controversy campaign and intelligent design to the public, education officials and public policymakers. Its efforts are largely aimed at conservative Christian policymakers, where it is cast as a counterbalance to the liberal influences of "atheistic scientists" and "Dogmatic Darwinists." As a measure of their success in this effort, on 1 August 2005, during a round-table interview with reporters from five Texas newspapers, President Bush said that he believes schools should discuss ...

Teach the Controversy - Intelligent design movement.
The Intelligent Design movement began in the early 1990s and is an organized campaign promoting a religious agenda calling for broad social, academic and political changes centering around intelligent design in the public sphere, primarily in the United States. The overall goal of the movement is "to defeat materialism" and the "materialist world view" as represented by evolution, and replace it with "a science consonant with Christian and theistic convi ...

| | | | Darwin on Trial: Encyclopedia II - Intelligent design - Intelligent design debate Intelligent design's opponents argue that among scientists, there is no debate about whether life evolved. A key strategy of the intelligent design movement is in convincing the general public that there is such a debate, and convincing the public, politicians, and cultural leaders that schools should "teach the controversy."[36]
The intelligent design debate centers on three issues:
Whether the definition of science is broad enough t ...

| | | | Darwin on Trial: Encyclopedia II - History of creationism - Renaissance to Darwin The Renaissance starting in the 14th century saw the establishment of protoscience that eventually would lead to the development of modern science through the Scientific revolution. This was a period of great social change. European colonization of the Americas was driven by people fleeing from religious persecution. The later Enlightenment (beginning in the 17th century) saw improvements in communications and economics (see Industrial Revolution) lead to advances in science and improved education. In the United States, due to the Establishment Clause, no church was given government sanction, so Christianity evo ...

| | | | Darwin on Trial: Encyclopedia II - Intelligent design movement - Intelligent design as a movement The movement was nominally launched by Phillip E. Johnson's book Darwin on Trial in 1991. The intelligent design movement began to take its present shape and course in 1996 with the forming of the Discovery Institute's Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture (CRSC), now known as the "Center for Science and Culture" (CSC). Johnson, a law professor whose religious conversion catalyzed his anti-evolution efforts, assembled a group of like-minded supporters who promote intelligent design through their writings, financed by CSC fello ...
