Abstract

This book considers three aspects centered on the evolution versus creation conflict—the conflict itself, its impact on the teaching of science, and its impact on science literacy and public policy. The 11 papers, each written by different authors, aim to find the ground from which science can be best conveyed to students and to the general public.
