Volume II / Issue 1 / February 6, 2004 Following the evidence where it leads Click here to subscribe to Nota Bene ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- New book says: "Teach the controversy" Visit the "Darwinism, Design, and Public Education" website ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- "An outstanding collection of articles by the leaders and critics of a movement that is changing our understanding of science and culture." -- Phillip Johnson, Jefferson E. Peyser Professor of Law, Emeritus Boalt School of Law, U.C. Berkeley, Author of "Darwin on Trial" and "Reason in the Balance" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Only evolution in the classroom, insist Darwin's defenders. No evolution in the classroom, cry creationists. The debate over how best to teach evolution has become an either-or argument that threatens science education in our schools. Both views reflect poor science, and if either side wins, students will lose. But there is another approach - teach the controversy. Instead of pretending there is no debate over Darwin's theory we should use it to further educate students about the scientific debate over evolutionary theory. ?The unique, and important, thing about "Darwinism, Design, and Public Education" is that it brings together leading scientists and policy experts from both sides of this debate and gives the reader the most advanced arguments of each viewpoint,? explains Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, director of the Center for Science & Culture and co-editor of the book along with Fellow Dr. John Campbell of Memphis University. ?The book showcases the scientific debate surrounding origin of life theories and thoughtfully advances the discussion over how to properly teach such theories in the classroom.?
