anti-evolution movement

The anti-evolution movement opposes the scientific explanation that species change over time through natural selection. Many advocates believe that life was specially designed by a divine creator, often based on a literal interpretation of religious texts. They challenge the use of evolution in education and public policy, arguing it conflicts with their beliefs or undermines morality. While scientific consensus confirms evolution as the best explanation for biological diversity, the movement persists in some communities, promoting alternative views that emphasize creationism or intelligent design.
