National Center for Science Education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) is a non-profit organization affiliated with the American Association for the Advancement of Science. NCSE "is religiously neutral, though it cooperates nationally and locally with religious organizations, as well as scientific and educational organizations like the National Academy of Sciences, the National Association of Biology Teachers, and the National Science Teachers Association."[2] The group has over 4000 members who are "scientists, teachers, clergy, and citizens with diverse religious affiliations."[3] The NCSE was founded in 1981 and incorporated in 1983, by several "Committees of Correspondence" that had been established to fight the promotion of "creation science" by Christian fundamentalists. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Center_for_Science_Education   (472 words)

Debates and the Globetrotters In the comparatively rare situation where the debate is held on a college campus, the supporters of good science and evolution are invariably in the minority in the audience, whereas the creationist supporters seem to exercise every effort to turn out their crowd. Now, there are ways to have a formal debate that actually teaches the audience something about science, or evolution, and that has the potential to expose creation science for the junk it is. This is to have a narrowly-focused exchange in which the debaters deal with a limited number of topics. Evolution is state of the art science, taught at every decent college and university in this country, including Brigham Young, Notre Dame, and Baylor. www.talkorigins.org /faqs/debating/globetrotters.html   (1778 words)

How Religiously Neutral are the Anti-Creationist Organisations? John Morris of the Institute for Creation Research saying the National Center for Science Education (NCSE) is ‘an offshoot of the American Humanist Association’. Although humanism is an atheistic religious belief, Scott claims that NCSE was intended from the start to ‘be a religiously-neutral organization focusing on science and education’.
