Truth in Science

Truth in Science is a United Kingdom-based creationist organisation which promotes the Discovery Institute's "Teach the Controversy" campaign, which it uses to try to get the pseudoscientific concept of intelligent design creationism taught alongside evolution in school science lessons. The organisation claims that there is scientific controversy about the validity of Darwinian evolution, a view rejected by the United Kingdom's Royal Society and over 50 Academies of Science around the world. The group is affiliated with the Discovery Institute, the hub of the intelligent design movement, following its strategy and circulating the Institute's promotional materials. It should not be confused with a United States organisation, The Center for Truth in Science, which was founded in 2020 to dispute various legal/scientific issues which had been flooding the nation's judicial system, such as talc-based powders blamed for causing cancer, Roundup herbicide causing health effects, and various plastic products impacting the environment. According to the their website, the organisation is headed by Joseph Annotti (President and CEO), and Peggy Murray (Research Director). It has three subordinate groups, whose roster (as of February 2022) consisted of: Stephen A. Hyde (Chairman) Professor Andy McIntosh, Professor of Thermodynamics at the University of Leeds, a Christian and creationist. Phillip Metcalfe (Vice Chairman), a Christian publisher. John Perfect, a teacher. Maurice Roberts, Minister of the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) and former teacher of classics. Steve Taylor, Professor of Electromagnetics and Physical Electronics Stuart Burgess, Professor of Engineering Design at Bristol University, has a Diploma in Theology from the London Reformed Baptist Seminary (of the Metropolitan Tabernacle), and is a creationist. George Curry, Minister of Elswick Parish Church (St Stephen and St Paul), Newcastle upon Tyne. Dr Russell Healey, teacher of mathematics. Derek Linkens, Professor and Dean Emeritus, Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering, University of Sheffield.
