Creation-Evolution Controversies in China: A Study of Intelligent Design in Social Media (2021)
In this article, I have traced the process of the spreading, acceptance, and rejection of Darwin’s theory of evolution in China from the late 19th to the early 21st century. First, I illuminate the reception of Yan Fu’s Tian Yan Lun and its critics, as well as the translation of Darwin’s works and their acceptance in Chinese scienti5c community. Second, I analyze the controversies over Kenneth Hsu's The Great Dying and the Chinese versions of intelligent design books. Third, I investigate the creation-evolution controversies in several main Chinese social media, such as Sina Weibo, Wechat, Douban, and Zhihu. We conclude that these intelligent design books have considerably in.uenced the Chinese public. The books also became the main resources of objections to Darwin’s theory of evolution in Chinese social media. My research provides a case for Ronald Numbers’s observation that “creationism goes global” (Numbers 2006, 399-431).
