Intelligent Design vs. Evolution

by Louise I. Gerdes (Editor)

Overview

Because intelligent design is not accepted broadly in the scientific community, does this make it unacceptable to teach in schools? This anthology investigates the debate surrounding the origins of our species. With an eye toward critical inquiry, the essays in this critical edition approach both evolution and intelligent design with skepticism. Readers will gain an understanding of each theory, and a deeper context for current conversations in the news regarding the role of evolution in education and public policy.
