For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
Romans 1:20
"Kaden had an interview with a leading American anti-creationist, Dr. Eugenie Scott.
In the interview transcript, she describes what introduced her to the controversy.
When a student in her lab class questioned the evidence for evolution, her response was that the animals spread out on the dissecting table showed comparative anatomy, which proved evolution: “[W]hat could possibly be the explanation for all the similarity between fish and amphibia and mammals other than evolution… I was sort of surprised that anybody would reject evolution.”
Soon after Eugenie Scott encountered a Darwin doubter, she was
confronted with others living in her state of Kentucky who also did not accept evolution. Her reaction was “this is terrible.”
A short time later she was invited by a rabbi and some Presbyterian ministers and Catholic Priests to make a presentation to the Lexington Alliance of Religious Leaders (LARL) on what creation science actually was; to her, it was ignorant biblical literalism. They concluded, if “biblical literalism was taught Monday through Friday they [the clergy] had to straighten out the kids on Sunday [teach evolution as fact].”
Eugenie Scott founded the organization today known as The National Center for Science Education (NCSE). The organization was first located in her basement, then, as the money poured in from others who also agreed with her that creationism was
dangerous and must be stopped, it moved to a large office in Berkeley, California.
Its goal was to, by any means necessary, including judicial decree (i.e., by court action), prevent the propagation of these ideas to the public—especially in government schools.
This background of the founding of the misnamed “National Center for Science Education” (NCSE) helps one understand the worldwide spread of pro-evolution and anti-creation propaganda that soon dominated the colleges, including Christian colleges. As Scott explains, the NCSE had to move every few years to larger facilities to deal with their growth, expanded activities, and growing influence.
Their one-quarter million active members and supporters indicates the level of their influence in the West. Through the influence of the NCSE, textbooks have been modified to include much more evolution dogma, and evolutionary claims have been put in every chapter instead of the last chapter."
