The '''Question evolution! campaign''', launched by the [[Bible|biblical]] [[creation]] organization [[Creation Ministries International]], is a worldwide "[[grassroots|grass-roots]] movement to challenge the anti-[[Christianity|Christian]] [[dogma]] of [[evolution]]".<ref>[https://creation.com/question-evolution Question evolution! campaign]</ref> The focus of the Question evolution! campaign is on 15 questions that evolutionists cannot adequately answer.<ref>[https://creation.com/question-evolution Question evolution! campaign]</ref> The ''15 Questions that evolutionists cannot satisfactorily answer'' can be found [https://creation.com/15-questions HERE]. 

The campaign is being primarily conducted in the [[United States]], the [[United Kingdom]], [[Canada]], [[Europe]], [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], [[Singapore]] and [[South Africa]].<ref>https://creation.com/question-evolution</ref> 
In May 2011, [[Creation Ministries International]] initiated a Question evolution! campaign which encourages students and others to "question the evolutionary [[pseudoscience]] peddled to them", to wear anti-evolution clothing and to pass out Question evolution! tracts within their schools and community. The campaign features tracts, T-shirts, badges, mugs, etc. and students are being encouraged to participate in the campaign.<ref>[https://creation.com/question-evolution Question evolution! campaign]</ref>
 
== The 15 questions that evolutionists cannot satisfactorily answer ==
[[Image:Carl weiland.jpg|thumbnail|150px|right|Dr. [[Carl Wieland]] was a founder of [[Creation Ministries International]]. ]]
The [https://creation.com/15-questions 15 questions of the Question evolution! campaign], summarized, are (the full version of the 15 questions can be found [https://creation.com/15-questions HERE]):

# How did [[Origin of Life|life originate]]? How did life with hundreds of proteins originate just by chemistry without [[intelligent design]]?
# How did the [[DNA]] code originate? The code is a sophisticated language system with letters and words where the meaning of the words is unrelated to the chemical properties of the letters—just as the information on this page is not a product of the chemical properties of the ink (or pixels on a screen). What other coding system has existed without intelligent design?
# How could such errors (mutations) create 3 billion letters of DNA information to change a microbe into a microbiologist? How can scrambling existing DNA information create a new biochemical pathway or nano-machines?
# Why is [[natural selection]] taught as ‘evolution’ as if it explains the origin of the diversity of life?
# How did new biochemical pathways, which involve multiple enzymes working together in sequence, originate?
# Living things [[intelligent design|look like they were designed]], so how do evolutionists know that they were ''not'' designed? Why should science be restricted to [[Naturalism (philosophy)|naturalistic causes]] rather than [[logic]]al causes?
# How did multi-cellular life originate?
# How did [[sex]] originate?
# Why are the (expected) countless millions of [http://www.conservapedia.com/Evolution#Lack_of_Any_Clear_Transitional_Forms transitional fossils missing]?
# How do ‘living fossils’ remain unchanged over supposed hundreds of millions of years?
# How did blind chemistry create mind/intelligence, meaning, altruism and morality?
# Why is evolutionary ‘just-so’ story-telling tolerated?
# Where are the scientific breakthroughs due to evolution? Why do schools and universities teach evolution so dogmatically, stealing time from experimental biology that so benefits humankind?
# Why is evolution, a theory about ''history'', taught as if it is the same as this ''operational'' science?
# Why is a fundamentally religious idea, a dogmatic belief system that fails to explain the evidence, taught in ''science'' classes? If “you can’t teach religion in science classes”, why is evolution taught?

The Question evolution! campaign tract with the expanded questions includes short arguments and/or quotes in support of biblical [[creation]], plus offers links to articles on CMI's website which provide supporting evidence.<ref>[http://aufiles.creation.com/images/pdfs/flyers/15-questions-for-evolutionists-a4.pdf 15 questions that evolutionists cannot satisfactorily answer]</ref>

[[Image:Duanegishpic.jpg|thumb|175px|right|Dr. [[Duane Gish]] ]]
Dr. [[Duane Gish]] - biologist and leader in biblical creation movement: “As one who has debated over 300 evolutionists, I am delighted to see this Question Evolution campaign under way. The 15 Questions for Evolutionists brochure hits all the major questions on origins that evolutionists have no satisfactory answers for. The questions should be propagated widely. I commend the campaign.”

Dr. John Sanford, [[Cornell University]] professor and inventor of the gene gun: “I enthusiastically endorse the campaign to encourage all thinking people to question evolution. The era must come to an end where all things with the single exception of evolution are subject to critical examination. How sad that so much evidence has been suppressed, such that most people who consider themselves to be ‘well informed’ have in fact only heard one side of the question. Indoctrination, intimidation, censorship—this is not how science is supposed to operate. Let us return to the true spirit of science, which is critical thinking, dialog and open inquiry.”

Ian Juby - Canadian creationist leader: “The Question Evolution! Campaign is an innovative, grassroots anti-evolution campaign which I believe will have a lasting and far reaching impact. The campaign is worldwide in scope and I hope to see it serve as a uniting force within the biblical creation community. I heartily recommend getting involved in this grassroots anti-evolution movement.”

== Related anti-evolution efforts at the time of the Question evolution! campaign ==

In 2011 the results of a study were published indicating that most [[United States]] high school biology teachers are reluctant to endorse the theory of evolution in class.<ref>http://voices.washingtonpost.com/answer-sheet/science/study-most-high-school-biology.html</ref> At the time of the question evolution campaign, other [[creationism|creationists]] plus [[intelligent design]] proponents were engaged in legislative actions encouraging students to examine the evolutionary paradigm in a critical way. In 2011, eight anti-evolution bills were introduced into United States state legislatures encouraging students to employ [[critical thinking]] skills when examining the evolutionary [[paradigm]]. In 2009, there were seven states which required critical analysis skills to be employed when examining evolutionary material within schools.<ref>http://www.discovery.org/a/9851</ref>
