National Center for Science Education

The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) defends the teaching of evolution in public schools. We are a nationally-recognized clearinghouse for information and advice to keep evolution in the science classroom and "scientific creationism" out. NCSE is the only national organization to specialize in this issue. We provide:Reviews of current anti-evolution activity in the United States and around the world; Background to the fundamentally creationist and anti-evolution movement known as "Intelligent Design"; Detailed information on the Creation/Evolution controversy from 1859 to the present; Resources for parents, teachers, school boards, and the general public. Contact NCSE if you need advice, information, or help in defending the teaching of evolution. We also work to increase public understanding of evolution and of the nature of scientific knowledge.
