Establishment Clause Bring Forth
515 words
Despite the scientific and legal support for
teaching evolution and against teaching creation
science, an uninformed public can still be swayed
by what seem to be "scientific" and logical
arguments. By making "evolution" synonymous with

any resistance. His name was Jason and I still
remember the ignorant expression on his face,

philosophy is shown in many of the works of
Charlotte Bronte. She uses independence as a
keynote in her thinking about her own life and the
life of all unmarried women (Ewbank 157). One such
work is Jane Erye. In this novel Charlotte Bronte
