Article Scopes 2005: Evolution vs. Intelligent Design
A trial rages in Pennsylvania over whether or not the concept of “Intelligent Design,” as opposed to “random evolution,” is an appropriate subject for high school science classes. Why are evolutionists so fearful of this ID theme?
Article A Feud Among Evolutionists
