Tonight: A WAR ON SCIENCE?

Is America's scientific soul in peril? That's the question ichannel explores in tonight's documentary presentation A WAR ON SCIENCE at 10 pm ET/PT. In a Pennsylvania courtroom in the fall of 2005, a landmark legal case began -- one that, in the eyes of many Americans, would pit God against science. At the heart of the proceeding, a simple question: does the controversial theory of "intelligent design" have a place in the science classroom alongside Charles Darwin's theory of evolution? This BBC doc tells the story of the most recent battle in a war that began in 1859 with the publication of Darwin's The Origin of Species. Features interviews with David Attenborough and Richard Dawkins (pictured).
