Evolution fight puts suburb in spotlight
Evolution controversy in this comfortable Atlanta suburb began with one boy’s fascination with dinosaurs.
“He was really into ‘Jurassic Park'”, his mother recalled. The trouble was, “we kept reading over and over that ‘millions and millions of years ago, dinosaurs roamed the Earth”, Marjorie Rogers continued. “And that’s where I said, ‘Hmm — wait a second”.
Like others who adhere to a literal reading of the Book of Genesis, Rogers, a lawyer, believes that the Earth is several thousand years old.
