Court battle over intelligent design and evolution

A landmark trial is underway in federal court. At issue is whether the theory of "intelligent design" should be taught in public schools. The outcome of the case could affect what millions of kids learn in school about the origins of life on Earth. The Dover, Pennsylvania school district is defending its policy that requires ninth-grade students to hear about "intelligent design" before their biology lessons on evolution. Intelligent design teaches that life and the universe are too complex to have evolved by chance; a higher power or intelligent designer must have been involved.
