Edwards v Aguiallard
Edwards v Aguillard was a 1987 Supreme Court case centering around the constitutionality of a Louisiana statue requiring that creation science be taught along side of evolution in the public schools.Evolution remains so controversial primarily because it is part of a larger debate over nature and the meaning of life. The study of how life began almost inevitably raises questions of why: Why did life begin? Why are humans rational? Why is there order in the universe? Men and women have debated these questions for thousands of years, considering them to be some of the most important inquiries human beings can undertake (Levy, Karst, West, 132). Is Creation Science scientific, irreligious, and factual, thus constitutionally permissible to teach in public schools? Can creation science be taught without promoting a particular religious belief, especially that human beings were created by a supernatural entity? Would academic freedom be gained by implementation of the act? Is the Balanced Treatment Act constitutional under Establishment Clause? Or does it have a non-secular purpose by promoting religion?
