Question evolution! campaign
The Question evolution! campaign, launched by the biblical creation organization Creation Ministries International, is "A grass-roots movement to challenge the anti-Christian dogma of evolution".[1] The focus of the Question evolution! campaign is on 15 questions that evolutionists cannot answer.[2]
In May of 2011, Creation Ministries International and the Traditional Values Coalition decided to jointly initiate a question evolution campaign which encourages to students and others to "question the evolutionary pseudoscience peddled to them" and to wear anti-evolution clothing and pass out Question evolution! tracts within their schools and community. The Traditional Values Coalition is a church lobbying organization that lobbies for over 43,000 American churches. The campaign features tracts, t-shirts, badges, mugs, etc. and students are being encouraged to participate in the campaign.[3]
Related anti-evolution efforts at the time of the question evolution campaign
In 2011, the results of a study was published indicating that most United States high school biology teachers are reluctant to endorse the theory of evolution in class. [4] At the time of the question evolution campaign, other creationists plus intelligent design proponents were engaged in legislative actions encouraging students to critically examine the evolutionary paradigm. In 2011, eight anti-evolution bills were introduced into United States state legislators encouraging students to employ critical thinking skills when examining the evolutionary paradigm. In 2009, there were seven states which required critical analysis skills be employed when examining evolutionary material within schools.[5]
