Abstract

In late 2005 a federal judge barred a Pennsylvania public school from teaching "intelligent design" in its biology classes. The trial had taken six weeks and resulted in a resounding win for those who support the teaching of evolution in the classroom. The ruling was a tipping point for many in that debate between evolution and its possible alternatives, a debate that has been raging since before the 1925 Skopes Monkey Trial. Many see this debate as an encapsulation of a battle of cultural values and one that is a key sign of the direction of society as a whole. Indeed, very rarely do tempers flare higher than when questions come up regarding what to teach a nation's children.
