Abstract | This review of selected creationism/evolution cases illustrates that neutrality toward religion has not been achieved by the current understanding and application of the First Amendment. Nine cases are cited and discussed: (1) "Wright v. Houston Independent School District" (1970); (2) "Williams v. Board of Education of the County of Kanawha" (1975); (4) "Daniel v. Waters" (1975); (5) "Crowley v. Smithsonian Institution" (1978); (6)"Segraves v. State" (1981); (7) "Dale v. Board of Education" (1982); (8) "McLean v. Arkansas" (1982); and (9) "Edwards v. Aguillard." The courts have accepted claims that only evolution has a scientific basis, and therefore other theories of creation cannot be scientific. Recent case law consistently reflects this bias. Appended are 16 references. (SI) |
