I watched the film "Intelligent Design on Trial." The subject was one that I am particularly interested in; evolution and intelligent design. I attended Science Park High School in Newark, New Jersey whose motto states that it's an educational insitutution which "encourages and prepares its students towards successful further study and lifelong contributions in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics" (Science Park). I had a nine period schedule from 8 am to 3:05 pm every Monday through Friday with a double period of science every day. Evolution was first mentioned to me in my years of schooling in my freshman year of high school in my "earth science class. I grew up with Catholic parents. I attended catechism, from first grade until 7th grade, where I then graduated catechism after completing the fourth sacrament, confirmation. Did I believe in the bible? I wasn't sure. Did I believe in something bigger than us? Yes, I did. However, when this subject of evolution was introduced to me, everything I believed in started to make sense. Evolution was the word and theory and idea I had been looking for all along. The film was about the battle over teaching evolution in public schools that erupted in Dover, Pennsylvania. What this video taught me was the actual idea of intelligent design. I had never heard of such thing, or at least from what I remember. When the board at the Dover school mandated science teachers to read a statement to their high school biology students suggesting that there is another theory aside of Darwin's theory of evolution, the teachers refused. The theory of intelligent design is the theory that "life is too complex to have evolved naturally and therefore must have been designed by an intelligent agent. Like the video showed, trouble first began after one of the students at Dover High painted a mural showing the evolution of humans from ape-like ancestors. The board thought that only t
