The Discovery Institute (DI) is a politically conservative[2][3][4] think tank that advocates the pseudoscientific concept[5][6][7] of intelligent design (ID). It was founded in 1991[8] in Seattle as a non-profit offshoot of the Hudson Institute.

Its "Teach the Controversy" campaign aims to permit the teaching of anti-evolution, intelligent-design beliefs in United States public high school science courses in place of accepted scientific theories, positing that a scientific controversy exists over whether evolution is a reality, when in fact there is none.[9][10][11][12]
