This beautifully illustrated and well-organized volume comes down firmly on the necessity of teaching evolution as the cornerstone for any science curriculum, articulating in gentle but clear language why the religious belief behind creationism invalidates its usefulness or even its appropriateness in science classrooms in America. The history of the theory of evolution, the basis of modern scientific method and study, and the history and religious background of the theories of creationism and intelligent design are described in separate chapters. The book is written to be accessible to public school teachers and parents by a committee of educators in the U.S. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. How did life evolve on Earth? The answer to this question can help us understand our past and prepare for our future. Although evolution provides credible and reliable answers, polls show that many people turn away from science, seeking other explanations with which they are more comfortable. In the book, Science, Evolution, and Creationism, a group of experts assembled by the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine explain the fundamental methods of science, document the overwhelming evidence in support of biological evolution, and evaluate the alternative perspectives offered by advocates of various kinds of creationism, including "intelligent design." The book explores the many fascinating inquiries being pursued that put the science of evolution to work in preventing and treating human disease, developing new agricultural products, and fostering industrial innovations. The book also presents the scientific and legal reasons for not teaching creationist ideas in public school science classes.Mindful of school board battles and recent court decisions, Science, Evolution, and Creationism shows that science and religion should be viewed as different ways of understanding the world rather than as frameworks that are in conflict with each other and that the evidence for evolution can be fully compatible with religious faith.For educators, students, teachers, community leaders, legislators, policy makers, and parents who seek to understand the basis of evolutionary science, this publication will be an essential resource. How did life evolve on Earth? The answer to this question can help us understand our past and prepare for our future. This work explores the many inquiries being pursued that put the science of evolution to work in preventing and treating human disease, developing new agricultural products, and fostering industrial innovations.
