The issue focused on when to allow students to study science. Last year, education minister James Merlino said that research studies had shown the theory of evolution was scientific fact.

A climate scientist at the University of Toronto's physics department has now provided more evidence in support of evolution. In a 2013 review of evolution published in the journal Science, researcher Michael Behe wrote: "As scientists, we have no choice but to accept the genetic code as it is and move on to study its mechanism of operation."
