Christian Sleepers
30 November 2004
"'Evolution -- is that the Darwin theory? I don't know just what he was thinking!'" So said a sophmore at Dover Area High School, the Pennsylvania school district that has become the first in the country to mandate the teaching of "Intelligent Design" in public schools after a 6-3 school board vote last month (which prompted two board members to resign). Patricia Nason, of the Institute for Creation Research, told The San Francisco Chronicle's Anna Badkhen that her organization -- the world leader in "creation science" -- was active in encouraging conservative Christians to occupy local school boards. "'We Christians have as much right to be involved in politics as evolutionists,'" said Nason. "'We've been asleep for two generations, and it's time for us to come back.'"
