Examines whether advocates of the intelligent design theory are really creationists in disguise and discusses how the intelligent design argument has widened America's cultural divide. Provides a historical overview of the creation vs. evolution debate in the United States, highlighting 20th-century struggles over separation of church and state and the implications that these issues present for American education.
