Religious fundamentalists have been engaged in a 70-year political battle against evolutionary theory. While the battle has focused largely on the science curriculum in our primary and secondary schools, sociology has a stake in this battle. I argue that sociology should do more than support science curricula against attempts to include religious doctrines. It is time for sociology to embrace the theory of evolution in its own curriculum
