AUSTIN, Tex. — One is a nutritionist who believes “creation science” based on
biblical principles should be taught in the classroom. Another is a chemical
engineer who is listed as a “Darwin Skeptic” on the Web site of the Creation
Science Hall of Fame. A third is a trained biologist who also happens
to be a fellow of the Discovery Institute, the Seattle-based center of the
intelligent-design movement and a vice president at an evangelical ministry in
Plano, Tex.

At the public hearing this month, Michael Singer, a biology professor at the University of Texas who teaches courses to nonscience majors, said his students were often nervous about learning evolution. “I tell them that the Book of Job says that their faith will be tested,” he said. “You don’t need faith to believe what the evidence suggests. You need faith to believe what the evidence doesn’t suggest.”
