Description

Almost 80 years after the Scopes trial, the debate over the teaching of evolution continues to rage. There is no easy resolution - it's a complex topic with profound scientific, religious, educational, and legal implications. How can a student or parent understand this issue that is so vital a part of education? Evolution vs. Creationism provides the comprehensive and balanced survey that is so badly needed. 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, the various religious points of view - as well as a concise history of the evolution-creationism controversy.
