Edwards v. AguillardEdwards v.s Aguillard (1987), est un procès et une décision rendue par la Cour suprême des États-Unis quant à la constitutionnalité de l’enseignement du créationnisme en tant que « science ». La Cour a pris en compte une loi de Louisiane qui exigeait que là où l’évolution était enseignée à l’école publique, la « science créationniste » (bien que cette terminologie ait été cassée par le cas McLean vs Arkansas en 1982) devait également être enseignée.
Kitzmiller v. Dover Area SchoolLe jugement Tammy Kitzmiller, et als v. Dover Area School District, et als (No. 04cv2688), est le premier dans une cour fédérale des États-Unis à condamner une école publique de district qui tentait d'obliger l'enseignement en classe de sciences de la pseudo-théorie du dessein intelligent comme une alternative scientifique à la théorie darwinienne largement établie.
List of scientific bodies explicitly rejecting intelligent designThis article lists those scientific organisations and other nationally or internationally recognised groups that specifically reject intelligent design as a valid alternative to evolutionary theory. The American Association for the Advancement of Science is the world's largest general scientific society. The AAAS serves some 262 affiliated societies and academies of science, serving 10 million individuals. A 2002 statement states: "[T]he lack of scientific warrant for so-called 'intelligent design theory' makes it improper to include as a part of science education.
Of Pandas and PeopleOf Pandas and People: The Central Question of Biological Origins is a controversial 1989 (2nd edition 1993) school-level supplementary textbook written by Percival Davis and Dean H. Kenyon, edited by Charles Thaxton and published by the Texas-based Foundation for Thought and Ethics (FTE). The textbook endorses the pseudoscientific concept of intelligent design – the argument that life shows evidence of being designed by an intelligent agent which is not named specifically in the book, although proponents understand that it refers to the Christian God.
Level of support for evolutionThe level of support for evolution among scientists, the public, and other groups is a topic that frequently arises in the creation–evolution controversy, and touches on educational, religious, philosophical, scientific, and political issues. The subject is especially contentious in countries where significant levels of non-acceptance of evolution by the general population exists, but evolution is taught at public schools and universities.
Creation scienceCreation science or scientific creationism is a pseudoscientific form of Young Earth creationism which claims to offer scientific arguments for certain literalist and inerrantist interpretations of the Bible. It is often presented without overt faith-based language, but instead relies on reinterpreting scientific results to argue that various myths in the Book of Genesis and other select biblical passages are scientifically valid.
Intelligent design in politicsThe intelligent design movement has conducted an organized campaign largely in the United States that promotes a pseudoscientific, neo-creationist religious agenda calling for broad social, academic and political changes centering on intelligent design. Level of support for evolution Though creationism and intelligent design are not supported by many mainstream scientists, there are significant minorities in the general public in most developed countries that say they doubt or reject the theory of evolution, likely because of their religious beliefs.
Truth in ScienceTruth 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.
A Scientific Dissent from DarwinismA Scientific Dissent from Darwinism ou simplement Dissent from Darwinism (en français Une dissidence scientifique contre le darwinisme ou Dissidence contre le darwinisme) est une déclaration publiée en 2001 par le Discovery Institute, un groupe de réflexion chrétien conservateur basé à Seattle (Washington, États-Unis), très connu pour sa promotion du dessein intelligent (intelligent design en anglais).
