The Wedge Document

The Wedge Document is a strategy paper created by the Discovery Institute, a think tank that promotes intelligent design, which is a religious alternative to evolution. Written in 1998, it outlines a plan to challenge the scientific consensus on evolution and gradually introduce intelligent design into public education and discourse. The document emphasizes the goal of changing societal perceptions about science, advocating for a broader acceptance of religious explanations for biological diversity. Essentially, it lays out a roadmap for promoting ideas that align with certain religious beliefs within the scientific community and education systems.
