Discovery Institute

De L'Enciclopèdia, la wikipedia en valencià

El Discovery Institute (traduït a l'espanyol, «Institut Descobriment») és una organisació sense fins de lucre en sèu en Seattle, Washington, que s'ha donat a conéixer per la seua llabor de promoció del disseny inteligent. Fundada en 1991, l'Institut Discovery es proclama com un grup de reflexió sobre polítiques públiques, promou l'anàlisis reflexiu i l'acció eficaç en qüestions de política, ya siguen locals, regionals, nacionals i internacionals. L'Institut alberga una comunitat interdisciplinar d'estudiosos i defensors de la política dedicats a la revitalisació dels principis i institucions occidentals tradicionals i la visió del món de la que varen sorgir. L'Institut Discovery es preocupa especialment pel paper que eixerciten la ciència i la tecnologia en la nostra cultura i per cóm poden fer alvançar els mercats lliures, allumenar les polítiques públiques i recolzar els fonaments teistes d'Occident. L'Institut va ser fundat per Bruce Chapman i George Gilder. (47°36′15″N 122°20′00″W / 47.6040163, -122.3334546</noinclude>)


L'Institut descriu el seu propòsit de promoure «idees en la tradició de sentit comú d'un govern representatiu, el lliure mercat i la llibertat individual».[1] La seua campanya «Teach the Controversy» (en espanyol, «Ensenya la controvèrsia») té com a objectiu ensenyar creències creacionistas i anti-evolució en els cursos de ciències en les escoles públiques dels Estats Units junt en les teories científiques acceptades, plantejant que existix una controvèrsia científica sobre estos temes.[2][3][4][5][6]


Un tribunal federal, junt en la majoria de les organisacions científiques, com l'Associació Americana per a l'Alvanç de la Ciència, diuen que l'Institut ha fabricat la polèmica per mig de la promoció d'una falsa percepció de que l'evolució és «una teoria en crisis»,[7] en afirmar incorrectament que és objecte d'àmplia controvèrsia i de debat en la comunitat científica.[8][9][10] En el 2005, un tribunal federal va dictaminar que l'Institut Discovery porta a terme «missions religioses, culturals i llegals»[7][9][11] i el manifest de l'institució, l'estratègia de la falca,[12] descriu un objectiu religiós: «revertir el domini asfixiant de la visió materialista del món, i reemplaçar-ho en una ciència consonant a les conviccions cristianes i teistes».[13][14]
