$1.6 million to refute Darwin's theory.

The foundation has called for a more open debate on biology and cosmos, and the targeted group are all those interested in science and big issues, especially young people, including students.

By promoting the theory of intelligent design, the foundation lays out the virtues of the Persian theory that nature is so precise and well established that it could not be developed by natural selection and that it should be managed.

Rasmussen, 81, told television Norway's NRC that he wanted to get as much of this modern research available to the public as possible.

“in significant ways, he's dealing with Darwin,” explained Rasmussen.

He was reconciled to members of the Foundation, made up of a Danish professor, physician, civil engineer, and theologian, which evolution can no longer be explained as a result of random changes or natural selection.

Rasmussen's involvement has provoked sharp reactions from those who believe a powerful businessman is trying to influence the education system in Norway.

Norwegian MP Torstin Tweet Solberg said it was totally wrong for the rich to try to buy access to Norwegian classes.

This is very alternative and pointless,” Solberg noted.

Rasmussen's move was commented by Martin Jacobsen, a researcher at the Ansgar Theological College in Christiansand, who said that scientists should be asked about nature and theologians should be questioned about God.

When you wonder how nature evolved, you need to talk to a scientist. When you think about how God works, then you can talk to a theologian,” noted Jacobsen. /Periscopi/
