Mr. JAY LABOV (National Academy of Sciences): Why they try to do is to insert language that makes it seem as if there's some controversy within the scientific community as to whether evolution has occurred, and the vast, vast majority of scientists accept the evidence for evolution that has accumulated over the last 150 years.
They also encourage teachers to discuss with their students such things as gaps in the fossil record, molecular evidence, that they say raises questions about the theory ofevolution.
