COLUMBUS: A Columbus suburb that went through controversy over its Nativity scene is now being asked to celebrate science for the birthday of Charles Darwin.
Whitehall City Councilwoman Jacquelyn Thompson last week suggested that the council declare ''Darwin Day'' for Feb. 12, the 200th anniversary of the day the evolution theorist was born.
Thompson says the idea came from the Humanist Community of Central Ohio. A different secularist group, the Freedom from Religion Foundation, complained about Whitehall's manger display last month.
After some initial resistance over Darwin Day, Thompson submitted a new proposal Tuesday night to designate February as ''Science Month.''
Councilman Wesley Kantor said the community doesn't want that but does want the Nativity scene.
