When a federal court in 2005 rejected an attempt by the Dover, Pa., school board to introduce intelligent design as an alternative to evolution to explain the development of life on Earth, it sparked a renaissance in involvement among scientists in K-12 science instruction.

Now, some of those teaching programs, studies, and research centers are starting to bear fruit.

The evidence for the theory of evolution does not definitively exclude the existence of a creator, but the proponents of Creationism insist on excluding the possibility of evolution.

Metaphysics is still the proper place for creationism, not the biology classroom.
