Evolution Case Opens in Georgia Court

ATLANTA -- A warning sticker in suburban Atlanta science textbooks that says evolution is ``a theory, not a fact'' was challenged in court Monday as an unlawful promotion of religion. The disclaimer was adopted by Cobb County school officials in 2002 after hundreds of parents signed a petition criticizing the textbooks for treating evolution as fact without discussing alternate theories, including creationism.
