Abstract
Building on the examination of separate timelines for creation science and intelligent design organisations, Huskinson shows how the intelligent design movement deviated from creation science in its function, using political means to advance its concerns. The chapter demonstrates that the intelligent design movement operated as a political platform for co-ordinated movement of opposition to establishment science. The intelligent design movement did not share the same goals of creation science organisations in determining theological and social boundaries for evangelicals, and instead offered a national network for critiques of evolutionary theory. This chapter examines the alleged overlaps between creation science and intelligent design and shows that their competing philosophies of science are ultimately incompatible. Huskinson concludes by investigating the role of the Discovery Institute, the main hub of the intelligent design movement, and its monopoly over the movement’s history and trajectory.
