Whether we should believe in Adam and Eve, or Darwin and Evolution, is rarely an issue in school science lessons here in Britain.
But in America it's an argument heading for the US Supreme Court.
A High School in rural Pennsylvania has become the first in the country to promote an alternative to evolution, in its biology lessons.

Intelligent Design
Ever since the great Oxford debate in 1860 between Bishop Wilberforce and the biologist T.H. Huxley, it has been received wisdom among educated people that the Biblical story of the creation cannot be reconciled with the theory of evolution.
