Centre For Intelligent Design
From Conservapedia The Centre for Intelligent Design is an organisation in the United Kingdom that promotes the theory of Intelligent Design, which "argues that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by intelligent causation."[1] The centre's activity is organised under a charitable trust governed by the laws of Guernsey, Channel Islands.[2] The organisation is mainly an advocacy or public relations operation.[3] Its president is Norman Nevin, emeritus professor of medical genetics at Queen's University in Belfast, and its vice-president is Dr David Galloway, the vice president of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons.[4]
Background[edit]
As explained on its website:[5]
| “ | The Centre for Intelligent Design UK (C4ID) was set up in 2005 by a small group of professionals following lecture visits to the UK by the late Prof Philip Johnson, author of Darwin on Trial (IVP 1991), and Dr Stephen Meyer, author of Signature in the Cell (HarperOne 2009).
These two lecturers highlighted to large UK audiences the deficiencies of Darwinian science and the highly credible empirical data for Intelligent Design (ID) in nature. The intention of the founders of C4ID was to promote the public and academic discussion of ID and its implications, in the UK and across Europe. |

The small number of people running the Centre appear to be socially and politically well connected within the regions they live and work. The initial number directly involved is small – possibly no more than ten. The Centre is head-quartered in Scotland.”
