Episode Summary
This episode takes a look into a Georgia school board debate about whether or not they should teach what's in the Bible about the creation of living things. This is claimed to be as much a 'science' by its supporters as evolution. The truth is, they want their religion in the school system and for all the other students to learn of their religious beliefs. What they are really doing is teaching what's in the Bible which is for a private school, not a public school. Penn and Teller will explain why in this episode of Bullsh**!''''Special Guest Experts include:''''Myrna Feldman (Teacher)''Dr. Duane Gish (Senior Vice President, Institute for Creation Research)''Dr. Eugenie C. Scott (Physical Anthropologist, National Center for Science Education)''Ron Mattson, PhD (Professor of Biology, Kennesaw State University)''Dr. Robert Todd Carroll (Professor of Philosophy, Sacramento City College)''Robert Russell (Professor of Theology and Science, Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley)''Russell Brock (Local Parent, Marietta, Georgia)''Jeffrey Selman (Local Parent, Marietta, Georgia)moreless

Notes
ADD NOTES- It should be noted that, in 2005, Jeff Selman, via the ACLU, challenged the right of the creationists and the school board of Marietta to place the stickers in the textbooks. A federal judge would agree on the grounds of it being an intrusion by organized religion on the public school system of Georgia. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Selman: And we're starting to wake up, cuz we've been silent too long and sleeping. I mean, as we're sleeping, these people are walking into our homes and stealing our liberty and we're not gonna let 'em do it anymore. Edit
- Penn: Whether intelligent design makes sense to you, or sounds just f*cking crazy DOESN'T MATTER. IT'S JUST. NOT. SCIENCE. Edit
- Mattson: In a history class, you don't hear people asking for balance between those who say that the Holocaust happened compared to those who say it didn't happen. Edit
