Preface
December 20, 2005. Like many scientists on that day, I awoke
feeling anxious. John Jones III, a federal judge in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, was due to issue his ruling in the case
of Kitzmiller et al. vs. Dover Area School District et al. It had been
a watershed trial, and Jones’s judgment would decide how American
schoolchildren would learn about evolution.
The educational and scientific crisis had begun modestly enough,
when administrators of the Dover, Pennsylvania, school district met
to discuss which biology textbooks to order for the local high school.
Some religious members of the school board, unhappy with the current
text’s adherence to Darwinian evolution, suggested alternative books
that included the biblical theory of creationism. After heated wrangling,
the board passed a resolution requiring biology teachers at Dover High
to read the following statement to their ninth-grade classes:
The Pennsylvania Academic Standards require students to learn about
Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and eventually to take a standardized
test of which evolution is a part. 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.
Intelligent design is an explanation of the origin of life that
differs from Darwin’s view. The reference book, Of Pandas and People,
is available for students to see if they would like to explore this view in
an effort to gain an understanding of what intelligent design actually
involves. As is true with any theory, students are encouraged to keep
an open mind.
This ignited an educational firestorm. Two of the nine school board
members resigned, and all the biology teachers refused to read the statement
to their classes, protesting that “intelligent design” was religion
rather than science. Since offering religious instruction in public schools
violates the United States Constitution, eleven outraged parents took the
case to court.
