Discovery Institute

Discovery Institute adalah sebuah organisasi publik nirlaba sebagai think-tank kebijakan yang berkantor pusat di Seattle, Washington, terkenal sebagai pendukung "intelligent design" (ID). Kampanye "Teach the Controversy" organisasi ini bertujuan untuk mengajarkan teori anti-evolusi di sekolah-sekolah publik di Amerika Serikat bersama-sama dengan teori-teori ilmiah yang sudah diterima, menempatkan kontroversi ilmiah bagi topik ini."ID's home base is the Center for Science and Culture at Seattle's conservative Discovery Institute. Meyer directs the center; former Reagan adviser Bruce Chapman heads the larger institute, with input from the Christian supply-sider and former American Spectator owner George Gilder (also a Discovery senior fellow). From this perch, the ID crowd has pushed a "teach the controversy" approach to evolution that closely inﬂuenced the Ohio State Board of Education's recently proposed science standards, which would require students to learn how scientists "continue to investigate and critically analyze" aspects of Darwin's theory." Chris Mooney. The American Prospect. December 2, 2002 Survival of the Slickest: How anti-evolutionists are mutating their message . Retrieved on 2008-07-23Teaching Intelligent Design: What Happened When? by William A. Dembski "The clarion call of the intelligent design movement is to "teach the controversy." There is a very real controversy centering on how properly to account for biological complexity (cf. the ongoing events in Kansas), and it is a scientific controversy."Nick Matzke's analysis shows how teaching the controversy using the Critical Analysis of Evolution model lesson plan is a means of teaching all the intelligent design arguments without using the intelligent design label.No one here but us Critical Analysis-ists...
