Teaching Evolution in a Creation Nation

No fight over what gets taught in American classrooms is more heated than the battle over humanity’s origins. For more than a century we have argued about evolutionary theory and creationism (and its successor theory, intelligent design), yet we seem no closer to a resolution than we were in Darwin’s day. In this thoughtful examination of how we teach origins, historian Adam Laats and philosopher Harvey Siegel offer crucial new ways to think not just about the evolution debate but how science and religion can make peace in the classroom. Laats and Siegel agree with most scientists: creationism is flawed, as science. But, they argue, students who believe it nevertheless need to be accommodated in public school science classes. Scientific or not, creationism maintains an important role in American history and culture as a point of religious dissent, a sustained form of protest that has weathered a century of broad—and often dramatic—social changes. At the same time, evolutionary theory has become a critical building block of modern knowledge. The key to accommodating both viewpoints, they show, is to disentangle belief from knowledge. A student does not need to believe in evolution in order to understand its tenets and evidence, and in this way can be fully literate in modern scientific thought and still maintain contrary religious or cultural views. Altogether, Laats and Siegel offer the kind of level-headed analysis that is crucial to finding a way out of our culture-war deadlock.
The Plain and Simple Truth for a Dazed and Confused World

If you search the scriptures, you will find in the book of Joshua 24:15, New King James Version, a message that reads, "If it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve." Joshua had gathered all the tribes of Israel and reminded them that their forefathers had served other gods and they needed to make a decision about the gods they would serve. Joshua loved his Jewish brothers and sisters and wanted them to realize that they had been given a choice: worship the true living God or worship one of the many false gods of their day. In today's culture, that same choice is before us all. We live in a society where political correctness is out of control. The line that separates right from wrong is beginning to disappear altogether. It seems to me that speaking common-sense truth these days is nearly impossible because many people are so easily offended. Just as Joshua loved his fellow human being enough to tell the truth in his day, that same love flows through me along with a great desire to speak truth in love to all mankind. We all have been given a choice by God to follow him, deny him, or chase after other gods. This book has been designed to inform you of all the choices there are in our world when it comes to religion, worship, doctrine, or even dismissing the idea of a God altogether. But remember this, the death rate for humans is 100 percent. Because of that terrifying reality, I pray the urgency to make your decision on this very important subject becomes your new priority. I believe the plain and simple truth in a dazed and confused world will give you the material you need to make your well-informed decision and settle this for good. Because if you're not living for truth, you're not living.
