 International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design
The International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design (ISCID) is a cross-disciplinary professional society that investigates complex systems apart from external programmatic constraints like materialism, naturalism, or reductionism. The society provides a forum for formulating, testing, and disseminating research on complex systems through critique, peer review, and publication. Its aim is to pursue the theoretical development, empirical application, and philosophical implications of information- and design-theoretic concepts for complex systems. |

Physicians and Surgeons who Dissent from Darwinism
Physicians and Surgeons for Scientific Integrity (PSSI) is a United States 501(c)(3) educational not-for-profit corporation established in 2006 to assist in reestablishing integrity in science. PSSI’s mission includes providing a means for physicians and surgeons to be publicly counted among those skeptical of nature-driven Darwinian macroevolution (molecules to man - DME), which is now taught as fact in most schools around the world despite the woeful lack of scientific evidence supporting it. In addition to the public listing of its physician and surgeon members, other members of the medical community and the general public may also support PSSI through membership. This support enables PSSI to carry out a key facet of its mission, the sponsoring of activities and events internationally to educate the public on this critical subject. |

Intelligent Design and Evolution Awareness Center
Like any organization, IDEA itself is not without its own biases. Our mission statement plainly says that "[a]t the heart of our advocacy is to promote intelligent design theory purely on its scientific merits." We recognize that investigations on origins raises questions that are both religious and scientific in nature, but we are careful not to mix scientific claims with religious claims, and recognize that the two are distinct and different, though complementary to one-another.
Our ultimate hope is that people can at least learn about theories of "intelligent design" and be made aware of the many problems with purely naturalistic explanations for the existence of life. By exposing the lack of scientific evidence supporting the assertion that natural processes are purely responsible for life and conveying the empirical evidence supporting intelligent design theory, we hope to bring to light the value of intelligent design theory and cause people to evaluate their own beliefs. |
