The Wedge document
• Miseducation
Melodramatic but plausible spin on the real goals of the intelligent design movement:
The so-called “Wedge document,” a fund-raising letter from the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle, has furthered the controversy surrounding intelligent design. The Discovery Institute, a conservative think tank, is the primary repository of academicians working on intelligent design theory.
The Wedge document set out a list of goals which, not surprisingly, alarmed the critics of intelligent design. “Discovery Institute’s Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture ("renewal” has since been dropped) seeks nothing less than the overthrow of materialism and its cultural legacies.”
