Discovery Institute Center for Science and Culture

The Discovery Institute Center for Science and Culture is an organization that promotes the idea of Intelligent Design, which argues that certain features of the universe and living things are best explained by an intelligent cause rather than natural processes like evolution. Founded in the 1990s, it seeks to influence scientific discourse and education by advocating for the inclusion of these perspectives in discussions about origins. The center's activities include research, publishing, and outreach to encourage a debate over the origins of life and the universe, often positioning its views in opposition to traditional evolutionary theory.
