Evangelical Christians, buoyed by the re-election of President Bush, are turning American schools into a battleground over whether evolution explains the origins of life or whether nature was designed by an all-powerful force. In at least 18 states, campaigns have begun to make public schools teach "intelligent design" --a theory that nature is so complex it could only have been created by design——alongside Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.
"It’s pretty clear that there is a religious movement behind intelligent design," said Steve Case, chairman of the Science Standards Committee, a group of educators that advises the Kansas Board of Education. The board will decide later this year whether to include intelligent design in biology classes.
Some scientists who espouse the theory say intelligent design does not question that evolution occurred, but how it occurred: They believe more was at play than random mutation and natural se-lection. The theory, they insist, does not support the religious concept of a creator. Those who advocate giving it equal treatment in schools have a different interpretation. "Intelligent design pro-motes a rational basis for belief in God," said John Calvert, managing director of the Kansas-based advocacy group Intelligent Design Network Inc.
Americans’ resistance to evolution is nothing new.
In 1925, Tennessee high school biology teacher John Scopes was prosecuted for teaching evolution in violation of a state law favoring creationism, in one of the most celebrated trials in U. S. history. Scopes was convicted and fined $100, but the Tennessee Supreme Court overturned the verdict on a technicality.
Critics, civil-liberties groups and many biology teachers see intelligent design being used as a version of creationism--the theory that God created the world as described in Genesis. The U. S. Supreme Court barred public school teaching of creationism in the 1980s for violating the separation of church and state.
They say the push for intelligent design in America’s schools comes from evangelical Christians, a group key to Bush winning a second term last November. [br] According to the passage, creationism is ______.
选项
A、the theory that the world is created by God.
B、the book titled Genesis which tells the origin of everything.
C、the doctrine that God creates a new soul for every human being.
D、the substitute name for intelligence design
答案
A
解析
细节题。文章第六段提到“the theory that God created the world…”(认为上帝创造了世界……。),别的三个选项都是迷惑选项,与文章的内容不符,所以正确答案是A。
