In summary, the National Center for Science Education (NCSE) is actively fighting against the spread of creationism on YouTube. Through their YouTube channel and other resources, they provide accurate and evidence-based information to debunk false claims and promote the teaching of evolution in schools. They also work with educators and scientists to combat the spread of misinformation and promote science literacy. The NCSE's efforts on YouTube are an important part of their overall mission to defend the teaching of evolution and scientific accuracy in education.

The National Center for Science Education has made a series of short Youtube videos opposing creationism, especially intelligent design. You can view the most recent at http://www.expelledexposed.com, along with other interesting articles. It is a simple presentation refuting the foundational idea of ID, that complex biological structures cannot be produced through natural, especially step-by-stop, processes. Earlier releases showcased the Texas science supervisor, Chris Comer, who was forced to resign over her support of evolution education, and a video about how NCSE helps to put out antievolution brushfires around the US.

Their Youtube channel can be found here: http://youtube.com/user/ExpelledExposed.

The website exposes the errors in Ben Stein's movie, Expelled, and has a lot of well-documented information useful to people who oppose ID.

I am glad to see organizations like the National Center for Science Education taking a stand against creationism and intelligent design. It is important to promote accurate and evidence-based information about evolution and to debunk misinformation and pseudoscience. The use of Youtube videos is a great way to reach a wider audience and provide easily accessible information.

The fact that the NCSE is also addressing the issue of forced resignation of individuals who support evolution education is concerning and highlights the importance of standing up for science and promoting critical thinking.

I highly recommend checking out their website and Youtube channel for anyone interested in learning more about the flaws in intelligent design and the misinformation presented in the movie Expelled. It is vital that we continue to support organizations and individuals who fight against anti-science ideologies and promote the understanding and acceptance of evolution.
