The latest on the evolution trial taking place at U.S. District Court in Atlanta.
* What’s at stake: A federal judge will decide whether stickers that say evolution is “a theory, not a fact” can remain in science textbooks used by Cobb County middle and high schoolers.
* The latest: Cobb County Superintendent Joseph Redden testified that he did not want the stickers placed in the textbooks, but was overruled by the school board. Board chairman Lindsey Tippins and others testified that they believe the stickers, which were approved unanimously, give students the freedom to discuss ideas of how humans came to be. Witnesses acknowledged that those ideas could include the ideas of “creationism” or “intelligent design.”
