Florida Education Bill Revives Evolution Debate
By Mara Gay - AOL NewsA controversial bill in the Florida Senate that would require teachers to offer a "thorough presentation and critical analysis of the scientific theory of evolution" has kicked up the latest battle over evolution. The language is subtle, but critics say the bill is a clear bid by the backers of intelligent design to chip away at the credibility of evolution without inviting the ire of a court battle.

It's hard to believe that the leading exponent of a brash new school of pugnacious atheism would somehow, miraculously, transform into the soul of charity. But consider the evidence: Dawkins says, for one thing, that he is tired of rehashing the forceful -- many would say withering -- arguments against religion he made in his best-selling book, "The God Delusion," and he objects to his frequent portrayal as a gratuitous provocateur.
