[edit] Order

I put the list in alpha order for now. May want to reorder by international organizations and by nation later. FloNight ^talk 00:06, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Only American organisations

I think this list should be renamed "List of American scientific societies rejecting intelligent design", or that we should make it an effort to include international scientific societies with official statements. -ramz- 23:45, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Intelligent design is so far mainly an American phenomenon, although this is changing with its introduction in Turkey and other places. A much longer set of lists can be found in the references and links of Level of support for evolution.--Filll 17:52, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Still a lot of other scientific institutions has spoken out on the matter. In my own country for example our main scientific body, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences made a statement although the matter has never really surfaced here. -ramz- 17:26, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, was probably just added, so there. Pseudoanonymous 20:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questions about relevance of some entries

The Council of Europe is not a scientific society, but a political group. The American Association of University Professors includes faculty from all disciplines. Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity Nobel Laureats Initiative is, I think, an ad hoc group, not a scientific society. On the other hand, aren't there quite a few more scientific societies would could be included in this list? TomS TDotO 14:37, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
