Testimony has ended in federal court in the lawsuit over evolution disclaimers in Cobb County science textbooks. Closing arguments are expected Friday morning.

Six parents have sued to remove the disclaimers, arguing that the stickers placed on the front inside cover of the textbooks cross the assumed separation of church and state. The plaintiffs contend the disclaimers expose students to “alternatives” to evolution that are considered unscientific — and religious — by most scientists.
