{{Main|Discovery Institute intelligent design campaigns}}
The Discovery Institute, through its Center for Science and Culture, has formulated a number of campaigns to promote intelligent design, while discrediting [[evolutionary biology]], which the Institute terms "[[Darwinism]]."<ref name="ForrestMay2007Paper" />

Prominent Institute campaigns have been to "Teach the Controversy" and, more recently, to allow Critical Analysis of Evolution. Other prominent campaigns have claimed that intelligent design advocates (most notably [[Richard Sternberg]]) have been discriminated against, and thus that [[Academic Freedom bills]] are needed to protect academics' and teachers' ability to criticise evolution, and that there is a link from evolution to ideologies such as [[Nazism]] and [[eugenics]]. These three claims are all publicised in the pro-ID movie ''[[Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed]]'' (2008). Other campaigns have included petitions, most notably ''A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism''.

The response of the scientific community has been to reiterate that the theory of evolution is overwhelmingly accepted as a matter of [[scientific consensus]]<ref>{{cite journal|last=Delgado |first=Cynthia |date=July 28, 2006 |title=Finding the Evolution in Medicine |url=http://nihrecord.od.nih.gov/newsletters/2006/07_28_2006/story03.htm |journal=[[NIH Record]] |location=Bethesda, MD |publisher=[[United States Department of Health and Human Services]]; [[National Institutes of Health]] |issn=1057-5871 |access-date=2014-06-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081122022815/http://nihrecord.od.nih.gov/newsletters/2006/07_28_2006/story03.htm |archive-date=November 22, 2008 }} "...While 99.9 percent of scientists accept evolution, 40 to 50 percent of college students do not accept evolution and believe it to be 'just' a theory." — [[Brian Alters]]</ref>  whereas intelligent design has been rejected by the overwhelming majority of the scientific community (see [[list of scientific societies explicitly rejecting intelligent design]]).
