Yeah I want to know is there a legal thing about how creationism isn't scientifically legally
In the U.S., courts have ruled that teaching creationism as science in public schools violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. This is because creationism is considered a religious belief, not a scientific theory.
Key cases include:
- Edwards v. Aguillard (*): Supreme Court struck down laws requiring teaching creationism alongside evolution.
- Kitzmiller v. Dover (*): A federal court ruled that "intelligent design" is a form of creationism and cannot be taught as science in public schools.
