Abstract

The Intelligent Design (ID) movement suppose the evolution having been projected by some intelligent supernatural force, has spread throughout the world, despite its non-recognition by science. The starting point for the discussion is the publication of an invitation letter in a Brazilian scientific journal. It demonstrates the incoherence of this letter and how it reveals that the leading Brazilian and American exponents of this thought elaborate a deformed mixture of science and religion. It is concluded that this type of publication in an academic journal is harmful to scientific education, but it can reveal the fragility ID pseudoscientific discourse.
