All differences of opinion, said Cardinal Manning, are theological at bottom. So it is with the present hot controversy, in public schools and elsewhere, about—of all things in creation—Creation.
A federal court found unconstitutional an Arkansas statute requiring that “creationism” be taught in all public schools. Hearing confusedly of this decision, a member of Michigan’s state Board of Education declared that it was unconstitutional to teach creationism in any school. Indeed, certain educationists and ACLU types actually press for legislation to forbid in public schools the presenting of the biblical account of the origin of the cosmos and of mankind.
