Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture

The Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture (CSC) is a research organization that promotes the idea of Intelligent Design, which suggests that some features of the natural world are best explained by an intelligent cause rather than solely by evolution. It works to influence education, public policy, and scientific discussion by advocating for including these ideas in school curricula and public debates. While it presents itself as a scientific organization, many in the scientific community view its claims as outside mainstream science, leaning more toward philosophical or religious perspectives.
