A bill introduced to the Indiana Senate could require public schools to teach creationism.
It was introduced by Senator Dennis Kruse, who represents the 14th district, which includes part of Fort Wayne.
This is the sixth creationism related bill introduced by Kruse since 2000.
All five previous attempts failed.
The Supreme Court ruled teaching creationism in public schools unconstitutional in 1987.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
