More than 80 years after the famous Scopes Monkey Trial, the controversy over evolution is as lively as ever. Voters in at least 19 states have taken a position on the teaching of the origins of life. The most visible part of the debate centers on the widespread effort to teach Intelligent Design. Yet there is little understanding about this rival theory and the motivations of its proponents.
Hear about this controversial movement from its founders, its critics, and from ordinary people trying to decide what to teach their kids.
