Utah Evolution Bill Dies

The latest attempt to question evolution in Utah has failed. SB96
would have established a state policy that teachers should instruct
science students that not all scientists agree on the origins of life
or the origins of human life. Further, the bill would have mandated the
state not endorse a particular theory in the classrooms.



The debate got a little brutish on Tuesday, "There are
a number of influential legislators who believe you evolved from an
ape," [Sen. Chris] Buttars said following the vote. "I didn't."




Here are a few articles on the topic: Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News, N.Y. Times, and CNN.
