MOVE OVER, DARWIN: The school board in Dover, Pa., voted last month to require biology teachers to teach “intelligent design” as an alternative to the theory of evolution.
WHAT IS INTELLIGENT DESIGN?: The theory holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by an unspecified higher power.
THE REASON: Board members who support the change say students should learn about challenges to Charles Darwin’s theory that life on earth developed gradually over millions of years.
THE OTHER SIDE: Critics allege “intelligent design” is a more secular portrayal of creationism.
