Everyone agrees that the Scopes trial (viciously caricatured in the play and movie Inherit the Wind) was a setback for the teaching of scientific reasoning. But the same is true of the Georgia ruling, Darwinism being quite obviously a biological theory and open to dispute. To claim otherwise is to be woefully misinformed.And this guy gets published in the Weekley Standard. What can you do but roll your eyes.
You argue very weekley

To claim otherwise is to be woefully misinformed All biological theories are open to dispute!!! I really don't get the whole "Evolution is just a theory" arguement- so is most of our basic scientific knowledge! A fact is confined to exact temporal and spatial scales. You don't need a sticker in a text book to explain the process of science- any self-respecting professor will do so. Heck I do and I don't have all that much self-respect.
