anti-evolution statute

Read a random definition: private wrong

A quick definition of anti-evolution statute:

An anti-evolution statute is a law that says teachers cannot teach the theory of evolution in schools. This law was found to be unconstitutional because it goes against the First Amendment's Establishment Clause. This clause says that the government cannot promote one religion over another. Scientific creationism is a belief that the Bible's story of creation is supported by science.

A more thorough explanation:

An anti-evolution statute is a law that prohibits the teaching of the theory of evolution in schools. This means that teachers are not allowed to teach students about how humans and other living things evolved over time.

For example, in the past, some states in the United States had laws that made it illegal for teachers to teach evolution in public schools. These laws were eventually found to be unconstitutional because they violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which prohibits the government from promoting any particular religion.

Another related term is creationism, which is the teaching of the biblical version of the creation of the universe. Some people believe that creationism should be taught in schools instead of evolution. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that it is unconstitutional to teach creationism in public schools because it is a religious belief and not a scientific theory.

Overall, anti-evolution statutes and the debate over evolution versus creationism highlight the tension between science and religion in education.
