[CLEVELAND] The great debate on teaching evolution and creationism in American schools is back ‹ this time with an added twist.

The Ohio State Board of Education is being pressed to instruct teachers in the mid-western state to include 'intelligent design' in their biology lessons, as a possible alternative to Darwin's theory of evolution.

Proponents of 'intelligent design' concede that evolution takes place, but argue that its outcome is too complex to have occurred by chance and so must have been designed by some unseen hand. They told a rowdy public hearing of the board in Columbus on 11 March that including the topic in the school curriculum would help students to understand that scientific theories are always open to challenge.

But many scientists regard 'intelligent design' as pseudoscience, and say that it is being used as a Trojan Horse to introduce the teaching of creationism into schools.
