America & Creazionismo...

Sempre sull'america, è interessante notare che abbia evoluto il substrato necessario per la creazione di una seria opposizione all'evoluzionismo

Embarrassingly, in the 21st century, in the most scientifically advanced nation the world has ever known, creationists can still persuade politicians, judges and ordinary citizens that evolution is a flawed, poorly supported fantasy. They lobby for creationist ideas such as "intelligent design" to be taught as alternatives to evolution in science classrooms. As this article goes to press, the Ohio Board of Education is debating whether to mandate such a change. Some antievolutionists, such as Philip E. Johnson, a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley and author of Darwin on Trial, admit that they intend for intelligent-design theory to serve as a "wedge" for reopening science classrooms to discussions of God.

Quando dico seria, non intendo "supportata da basi serie", ma seria nel senso che in America è presa seriamente da molti individui, al punto da fare pressione poichè venga insegnata nelle scuole alla pari dell'altra teoria scientifica.
