The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) is a secular humanist organisation dedicated to promoting the teaching of evolution in public schools. The executive director is Eugenie Scott.

The NCSE was founded in 1981. The organization states that it holds no religious preference, and that it's members are diverse in personal faiths. The NCSE is a non-profit organization, affiliated with the American Association for the Advancement of Science. NCSE fights for the teaching of evolutionary biology in schools, while it strongly opposes religious views (particularly creationsim) being taught in science classes. The NCSE is located in Oakland, California. The National Science Center for Education is supported by many big names in evolution, including Bill Nye The Science Guy.

From the NSCE website: "The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) defends the teaching of evolution in public schools. We are a nationally-recognized clearinghouse for information and advice to keep evolution in the science classroom and "scientific creationism" out. NCSE is the only national organization to specialize in this issue. We provide: Reviews of current anti-evolution activity in the United States and around the world Background to the fundamentally creationist and anti-evolution movement known as "Intelligent Design" Detailed information on the Creation/Evolution controversy from 1859 to the present Resources for parents, teachers, school boards, and the general public ”
