Parents in the US are taking intelligent design to court.
PARENTS in a rural Pennsylvania town are mounting the first legal test of the controversial theory of the origin of life known as intelligent design.
Eleven parents are suing the Dover school board for requiring teachers to cast doubt on Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and to offer intelligent design as an alternative.
[...]The row in Dover erupted when the elected school board voted 6-3 to require teachers to read a four-paragraph statement to 14-year-old biology pupils.
“Because Darwin’s theory is a theory, it continues to be tested as new evidence is discovered. The theory is not a fact. Gaps in the theory exist for which there is no evidence . . .†the statement says.
Eric Rothschild, representing the parents, told the judge that the school board’s own documents showed that its members had initially discussed teaching creationism until they were warned off it by lawyers.
Who says creationists can’t evolve?
