Idea to send:	Topic Teaching Evolution in Government Schools Content Request from State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Sandy Garrett, and/or the Education Oversight Board Office of Accountability, in report form, an answer to the question of whether the universe was created by a supreme being. The objective is to formally prod the Department of Education into a dialogue about the teaching of evolution in school science classes without also teaching the alternative of “creationism,” or “intelligent design.” If Ms. Garrett answers “no” to the question – stating that the universe was not created by a supreme being – she would be offered “the Legislature’s admiration for being able to decide conclusively a question that has long perplexed and occupied the attention of scientists, philosophers, theologians, educators and others.” But if she answers yes, or states that the answer to the creation of the universe is uncertain, then a follow-up question must also be answered: “Why is creationism not being taught in Oklahoma schools?” This would also give Ms. Garrett the opportunity to say, ‘You’re wrong. There is no creationism.’
