Concept information
Preferred term
creationism in curriculum: case law
Definition
- Creationism teaches that life, and the universe in general, originated in the purposeful action of a being who existed prior to the origins of a created universe. The highly publicized 1925 trial in Scopes v. Tennessee did not establish case law precedent for deciding more recent cases on the teaching of creationism.
