- Summary:
- The concept of biological evolution is one of the most important ideas ever generated by the application of scientific methods to the natural world. Organic evolution is at the core of numerous biological disciplines. Yet, the teaching of evolution in our schools remains controversial. This new edition of Science and Creationism summarizes key aspects of several of the most important lines of the evidence supporting evolution, describes "creation science" and presents analyses of these claims.
