In 1928, Arkansas state passed a law by referendum making it illegal to teach "the theory or doctrine that mankind ascended or descended from a lower order of animals." In 1999, the Board of Education of Kansas State in the United States voted in favour of removing any reference to evolution from its science curriculum. It seems that there has been a raging debate in parts of America in the last century about the theory of evolution. After reading multitudes of web pages, the question that still occurs to me is - why do people worry so much about this issue?

  • In 1928, Arkansas state passed a law by referendum making it illegal to teach "the theory or doctrine that mankind ascended or descended from a lower order of animals." In 1999, the Board of Education of Kansas State in the United States voted in favour of removing any reference to evolution from its science curriculum. It seems that there has been a raging debate in parts of America in the last century about the theory of evolution. I wasn't aware of the energy and money that goes into this debate in the United States. Where I come from on the other side of the world, there isn't the same level of dispute about evolution versus creation science. In mainstream Christian circles in Australia, it is an uncommon topic of discussion. Now and again it pops up in a conversation, but never for long. But look on the internet, and you'll see web site after web site dedicated to discrediting either creation science or evolution - an us versus them approach. People are referred to as evolutionists or creationists - as if this defines their faith?! After reading multitudes of web pages, the question that still occurs to me is - why do people worry so much about this issue?
