He was confirmed by the United States Senate on May 10, 1979, and received his commission on May 11, 1979. Overton continued to serve on that court until his death in 1987. He is known for his ruling on Act 590 The Arkansas Balanced Treatment Act in McLean v. Arkansas , which was a law seeking to require the teaching of Creation Science in classrooms. This statute was advocated by its supporters as providing equal treatment of creation science as the Theory of Evolution in the science classrooms. When Judge Overton struck down the Act in 1982, he used the criteria that a scientific theory must be tentative and always subject to revision or abandonment in light of the facts that are inconsistent with, or falsify, the theory. A theory that is by its own terms dogmatic, absolutist and never subject to revision is not a scientific theory. In summary, he held that a scientific theory to be taught in schools must have the following properties It is guided by natural law It has to be explained by reference to natural law It is testable against the empirical world Its conclusions are tentative, i.e., are not necessarily the final word It is Falsifiability ...
