    First of all, intelligent design claims that intelligent causes are necessary to explain the complexity-rich structures of the life surrounding us and it harbors on the idea of irreducible complexity. Irreducible complexity states how a single system is composed of several well-matched interacting parts that contribute to a basic function, and removal of any one of the parts causes the system to not work properly. Believers of intelligent design think that some biological aspects are too complicated to have evolved on their…

    The education of the nation’s youth has always been a contentious issue. One of the largest issues facing the education system is the integration of sectarian religions such as prayers into the classroom and other extensions of the education system. In the mid to late 1900s, several court cases went before the Supreme Court involving various aspects of state sponsored prayers. The two major cases involving prayers in schools were Engel v. Vitale and Abington v. Schempp. Within these two cases, the Court successfully and diligently balanced the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause and paved the way for the Lemon Test and Endorsement Test.…

    In 1951, the New York State Board of Regents gave their approval for a prayer that was to be said every morning in school, along with the Pledge of Allegiance ("Engel v. Vitale (1962)"). The Regents believed this prayer would encourage children to be good citizens, along with other benefits such as developing good character. Although this prayer was not required, many students and parents were opposed to the idea and decided to fight against it. In 1962, a group of angry parents reached the Supreme Court and Engel v. Vitale took place. The parents argued that the school prayer violated the First Amendment, and the Supreme Court ruled in their favor. Engel v. Vitale is a very controversial Supreme Court case, but the Court definitely made the right decision. The separation of church and state is a fundamental part of the United States and it needs to be reinforced and preserved, which is exactly what Engel v. Vitale did.…

    In 1962, the New York Law approved a prayer that sent the country into chaos. It all began when the New York Board of Regents authorized a short prayer that students would recite along with the Pledge of Allegiance. According to the school, the prayer was voluntary and non-denominational. The prayer read, "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and beg Thy blessings upon us, our teachers, and our country." Many parents revolted and argued that the voluntary prayer was against their religious beliefs. One group of parents, lead by Steven Engel, took the case to court, claiming that the prayer violated the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment.…
