  • Bruce Chapman on RULE and RUIN
    Republicanism For the Long Haul "Moderation" is a sentiment, not a disposition -- and it's definitely not a philosophy by Bruce K. Chapman, www.DiscoveryNews.org If there's a better book on the subject of whatever happened to "moderate Republicanism" than Rule and Ruin by Geoffrey Kabaservice (Oxford University Press, January 2012, 482 pages), I can't imagine what it is. And I probably would know, having helped hold aloft the "moderate" banner during the period leading up to Barry Goldwater's nomination in 1964 (see box of links, next page). What Kabaservice has written is thorough, fair, and sometimes very entertaining. That doesn't mean I agree with some of its conclusions. Kabaservice, a writer and former history professor who wrote The Guardians, a widely acclaimed account of Kingman Brewster's reign at Yale, is not happy that the moderate faction in the GOP was slowly, but inexorably, sidelined by more assertive (sometimes aggressive) right‐wingers. "Moderate" once was an accolade. Not any more. Today practically all GOP candidates fall over themselves assuring voters that they are the true conservative in any given race and that their intra‐party rivals are covert moderates or liberals. Rule and Ruin takes advantage of the time that has passed since the moderate vs. conservative battles of the ‘60s and now is yielding archival letters and memos that have not been reported before. They reveal, for example, the true feelings and operations of candidates like Nelson Rockefeller. Governor of New York from 1959 to ’73, “Rocky” was seen as a moderate GOP hero, but in the Kabaservice telling he turns out to believe that extremism in the pursuit of his own career was no vice.

All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy by WILLIAM M. KNOBLAUCH has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by __________________________________ Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History __________________________________ Howard Dewald Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KNOBLAUCH, WILLIAM M., Ph.D., March 2012, History Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach This dissertation examines how 1980s antinuclear activists utilized popular culture to criticize the Reagan administration’s arms buildup. The 1970s and the era of détente marked a decade-long nadir for American antinuclear activism. Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1981 helped to usher in the “Second Cold War,” a period of reignited Cold War animosities that rekindled atomic anxiety. As the arms race escalated, antinuclear activism surged. Alongside grassroots movements, such as the nuclear freeze campaign, a unique group of antinuclear activists—including publishers, authors, directors, musicians, scientists, and celebrities—challenged Reagan’s military buildup in American mass media and popular culture. These activists included Fate of the Earth author Jonathan Schell, Day After director Nicholas Meyer, and “nuclear winter” scientific-spokesperson Carl Sagan.

    Winter 2006 New Discoveries Discovery Responds to Dover Ruling In the wake of a federal district judge’s ruling against intelligent design in Dover, Pennsylvania, Discovery Institute scientists and legal experts are preparing a number of responses to submit to science publications and law reviews. CSC Associate Discovery President Bruce Chapman Director Dr. John West has published a four-part series Senior Fellow Stephen Meyer (right) and National Center for on NBC Nightly News titled “Dover in Review,” which is available on Discovery’s Science Education Executive Director homepage (www.discovery.org). Members will also have access Eugenie C.

The title of the analysis is “Understanding Kitzmiller: A Response of the Discovery Institute to Kitzmiller v.

  • Some Scientists Oppose Darwin's Theory 22 June 2006
    Some scientists oppose Darwin's theory 22 June 2006 More than 600 scientists from around the world have signed a statement publicly expressing skepticism about the theory of evolution. The Discovery Institute in Seattle, Wash., says the statement being disbursed by the Internet reads, in part: "We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged." The list of signatories reportedly includes scientists from National Academies of Science in Russia, Czech Republic, Hungary, India (Hindustan), Nigeria, Poland, Russia and the United States. "Dissent from Darwinism has gone global," said Discovery Institute President Bruce Chapman, a former deputy assistant to President Ronald Reagan. "Darwinists used to claim that virtually every scientist in the world held that Darwinian evolution was true, but we quickly started finding U.S. scientists that disproved that statement. Now we're finding that there are hundreds, and probably thousands, of scientists all over the world that don't subscribe to Darwin's theory." The Discovery Institute is a conservative Christian think tank founded in 1990 which has been promoting teaching of intelligent design in schools.

PLAINTIFFS’ RESPONSE TO AMICUS BRIEFS Plaintiffs submit this brief in response to the amicus curiae briefs of the Foundation for Thought and Ethics (the “FTE”), the Discovery Institute, and a collection of scientists, all of which are designed to persuade the Court that it should issue a ruling that does not take any position about whether intelligent design is religious or scientific. Case 4:04-cv-02688-JEJ Document 338 Filed 12/07/2005 Page 2 of 30 Consistent with the incestuous relationships among the amicis, the briefs of the FTE and the Discovery Institute, arguing that intelligent design has nothing to do with religion, are written by the same attorney, Randy Wenger of the Alliance Defense Fund (“ADF”), a legal organization dedicated to advocating the rights of Christians.’ Mr. Wenger’s co-author on the Discovery Institute brief, David K. DeWolf, also wrote the brief for Amici Curiae Biologists and Other Scientists, a number of whom are Discovery Institute fellows. As a fellow of the Discovery Institute himself, Mr. DeWolf has advocated the incorporation of intelligent design into public school curriculums,2 but, now that the Dover board has followed that suggestion, the Discovery Institute has abandoned that position (indeed, neither it nor the FTE styles its brief as being “in support of defendants”), 1 According to its website, “ADF is Christ-Centered.

  • From “Creation Science” to “Intelligent Design”
    From “Creation Science” to “Intelligent Design”: Tracing ID’s Creationist Ancestry Barbara Forrest © Barbara Forrest 2005 From “Creation Science” to “Intelligent Design”: Tracing ID’s Creationist Ancestry Barbara Forrest © Barbara Forrest 2005 Creationism has evolved over the last forty years—from the young-earth creationism of the 1960s-70s, to the “creation science” or “scientific creationism” of the 1980s, to “intelligent design,” creationism’s most recent variant. Beginning their self-transformation in the 1980s, creationists emerged publicly as “intelligent design theorists” in the early 1990s in order to execute the “Wedge Strategy,” a 20-year tactical plan developed under the leadership of Phillip E. Johnson and formalized in a document with the same title.1 The landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Edwards v. Aguillard (1987), which outlawed the teaching of creation science in American public school science classes, meant that creationists had to reinvent themselves yet again if they were to continue their efforts to undermine the teaching of evolution.2 Intelligent design creationists at the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture (formerly the Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture), aided by their followers around the country, are using science education as the vehicle for their effort to “renew,” i.e., overthow, the secular foundation of American culture, which they regard as corrupted by “scientific materialism”: “Discovery Institute's Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture seeks nothing less than the overthrow of materialism and its cultural legacies.”3 The following chart reflects the clear commonalities between the substance of ID and its immediate ancestor, “creation science.” Grouped beneath characteristics that have been integral to creationism regardless of its various forms, selected remarks made by prominent creationists clearly show the direct line of descent between creation science outlawed by Edwards v.

    For God and Country: The Religious Right, the Reagan Administration, and the Cold War A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Jeremy R. Hatfield May 2013 © 2013 Jeremy R. Hatfield. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled For God and Country: The Religious Right, The Reagan Administration, and the Cold War by JEREMY R. HATFIELD has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach, Jr. Associate Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT HATFIELD, JEREMY R., Ph.D., May 2013, History For God and Country: The Religious Right, the Reagan Administration, and the Cold War Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach, Jr. In the late 1970s, a number of prominent evangelical ministers decided to become actively involved in American politics. Dubbed the New Christian Right by some, the Religious Right or the Christian Right by others, these figures immediately became very vocal about the need to restore morality to American society and to insure that the United States retained its position as a preeminent military power in the world. This dissertation examines the Religious Right’s activism in matters of American foreign policy from the late 1970s through the end of the Cold War. It illuminates the underlying theological and political beliefs that characterized the Religious Right’s politics, and explains how the Religious Right became politicized. It also demonstrates that foreign affairs played a more prominent role in the activism of the Religious Right than many historians have realized.
