false 352957 3 Almost eighty years after the Scopes trial, the debate over the teaching of evolution continues to rage. There is no easy resolution--it is a complex topic with profound scientific, religious, educational, and legal implications. How can a student or parent understand this issue, which is such a vital part of education? <I>Evolution vs. Creationism </I>provides a badly needed, comprehensive, and balanced survey. Written by one of the leading advocates for the teaching of evolution in the United states, this accessible resource provides an introduction to the many facets of the current debate--the scientific evidence for evolution, the legal and educational basis for its teaching, and the various religious points of view--as well as a concise history of the evolution-creationism controversy. <br>Each of the four sections of <I>Evolution vs. Creationism </I>provides a resource that will assist the reader in better understanding these issues. The first section addresses the nature of how evolution works as part of the scientific enterprise, as well as a summary of the relationship between religious beliefs and science. A section on the history of the controversy provides a handy synopsis of the lengthy struggles, from before Darwin to the present day, between advocates of creationism and the proponents of evolution. A collection of primary source documents addressing cosmology, law, education, and religious issues from all sides of the debate constitute the third section. The book concludes with a selection of resources for further information for those who wish to study the topic in more depth. 343175 2004 Evolution vs. Creationism: An Introduction (1st Edition) total:23|5:3|4:14|3:4|2:2|1:0| 23 87 51 3 4 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 05 21:06:30 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 05 21:18:11 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 06:48:10 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 19:56:55 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jan 08 19:01:15 -0800 2008 Tue Oct 02 14:30:52 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 02 14:31:25 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Tue Nov 10 07:06:20 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 07:06:20 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Oct 30 14:44:26 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 14:44:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 17 17:14:04 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 17:44:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 13 06:33:03 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 06:33:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 12 11:14:21 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 11:14:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 05 17:32:35 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 17:32:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 23 11:55:25 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 11:55:25 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jul 14 14:59:08 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 14:59:08 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Jul 03 10:30:59 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 10:30:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 16 10:55:27 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 10:55:27 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Jun 14 23:49:22 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 23:49:22 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Apr 22 11:12:45 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 11:12:45 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 14 16:46:50 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 16:46:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 29 09:56:01 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 09:56:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 18 05:26:53 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 05:26:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 08 07:20:58 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 08 07:20:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 23 13:16:50 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 13:16:50 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=352957
