PBS Evolution Debate

Ever since Charles Darwin put forth his famous theory in 1859, there has been controversy about it. Did all life evolve because, in the competition for survival, only the fittest and best-adapted lived to pass on their genes? Most scientists say yes. Or, as many religious believers insist, did the Book of Genesis have it right -- that God created all of life as it now is? Or has there been some combination? In the state of Kansas, the debate has taken the school board, in recent years, from one position to another. Now, after last November's election, the board has an antievolution majority again, and this past week it held a public hearing on what the school science curriculum should contain. Fred de Sam Lazaro was there.
