== Contents == The book begins by recounting ''[[Edwards v. Aguillard]]'', a [[US Supreme Court]] case regarding a [[Louisiana]] law requiring that if "evolution-science" is taught in the public schools, the schools must also provide balanced treatment for something called "creation science"; the court deemed the law an "[[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|establishment of religion]]". Johnson states that an associated ''[[amicus curiae]]'' brief by the [[United States National Academy of Sciences|National Academy of Sciences]] improperly "defined 'science' in such a way that [it was impossible to] dispute the claims of the scientific establishment" and a rule it proposed against "negative argumentation [eliminated] the possibility that science has not discovered how complex organisms could have developed".<ref>{{cite book |last=Johnson |first= Phillip E. |title=Darwin on Trial, 3rd ed. |edition=3rd |publisher=InterVarsity Press |location=Downers Grove, Ill. |year=2010 |page=33 |isbn=978-0-8308-3831-8 }} </ref> The book then goes on to give various arguments against evolution.
