  <dc:description>During the 1960s, the California State Department of Education had been increasingly pressured by religious groups to include Creation Theory in science textbooks used in the public schools. In 1972, Kornberg and his colleague David Hogness asked to address the Department on this matter, and explained why they believed that including Creation Theory would be bad for science education (and would make Californians the &quot;laughing stock of the entire civilized world&quot;). After hearings in 1972, the Department of Education decided not to require Creation Theory in science textbooks or curricula.</dc:description>
