Panel on teaching Intelligent Design in public schools.
Gettysburg College (College Union Building ballroom)

Intelligent Design is thought by many to be directly connected to the idea of creationism, the idea that evolution alone cannot account for the many species of life on our planet, and that an intelligent force must be behind their existence. An effort to formally assert this notion in the context of biology classes taught in the Dover (PA) Area High School, resulted in the celebrated 2005 federal court case, Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District.

This panel discussion included The Honorable John E. Jones III, who presided over the Kitzmiller trial. For more information, click here.
