Intelligent design tied to creationism in Dover <\/p>\n

trial<\/a> By Bill Toland, Post-Gazette Harrisburg Bureau<\/p>\n

HARRISBURG — Board members who succeeded in introducing “intelligent <\/p>\n

design” to students in Dover Area School District were wary of evolutionary theory and explicit in their desire to balance the <\/p>\n

teaching of evolution with a more Christian-friendly philosophy<\/strong>, three plaintiffs testified yesterday during the second day of a <\/p>\n

landmark federal trial. …<\/p>\n

“If evolution was part of the biology curriculum, creationism<\/em> should be shared 50-50,” <\/p>\n

[Aralene] Callahan quoted [Alan] Bonsell as saying.<\/p>\n

[William] Buckingham, according to the testimony, expressed fears that the <\/p>\n

biology textbooks he’d reviewed were “laced with Darwinism,” and too one-sided in their deference to evolution. At a board meeting, <\/p>\n

Buckingham criticized a college student who studied evolution, saying the man had been “brainwashed.”<\/p>\n

Buckingham said somebody <\/p>\n

needed to take a stand for Jesus<\/strong>, witnesses said. His wife, Charlotte, quoted Old Testament verses during public board <\/p>\n

meetings, one plaintiff testified. <\/p>\n

The Globe and Mail: By <\/p>\n

accident or design?<\/a><\/p>\n

As governor of Texas, George W. Bush said students should be exposed to both creationism<\/strong> <\/p>\n

and evolution. Last month, he said intelligent design<\/strong> should be taught alongside evolution. “Both sides ought to be <\/p>\n

properly taught,” he said, “so people can understand what the debate is about.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
