H. Wayne House, "Darwinism and the Law: Can Non-Naturalistic Scientific Theories Survive Constitutional Challenge?" (2001)

"Regent University Law Review" Spring 2001, vol. 13, s. 355-445; http://www.hwhouse.com/Current%20Articles%20Downloads/Law/darwinism_and_the_law.htm --- Abstract: For almost eighty years there has been a raging battle in the United States between those who want to teaching within the public schools a naturalistic view of the origins of the universe and life with those who contend that the universe and life was created by a Creator. Beginning with the famous Scopes trial in Dayton, Tennessee in 1925, anti-evolution laws in Tennessee and other states, "Balanced Treatment Acts" of creation-science and evolution-science of the late 1970s and early 1980s, the U. S. Supreme Court case of Edwards v. Aguillard in 1987, up to current disputations, evolutionists and creationists have sparred in school boards, print and electronic media, and the courts. A new approach by a number of scientists concerned with objectivity in scientific research and the shortcomings of Darwinism in its various forms, is that of intelligent design. Not relying on sacred text, theological or biblical associations, intelligent design theorists are challenging the faltering foundations of naturalistic cosmology. Will such an approach be dealt another blow from the courts, or might this particular approach in design cosmology survive constitutional challenge?
