The wedge strategy is a political and social action plan authored by the
Discovery Institute, the hub of the
intelligent design movement. The strategy was put forth in a Discovery Institute
manifesto known as the Wedge Document, which describes a broad social, political, and academic agenda whose ultimate goal is to "defeat [scientific] materialism" represented by
evolution, "reverse the stifling
materialist world view and replace it with a science consonant with
Christian and
theistic convictions" and to "affirm the reality of God." Its goal is to "renew" American culture by shaping public policy to reflect conservative Christian values.
