article on evolution by Campbell & Meyer
From the Scopes Trial in 1925 through the action of the Kansas board
of education, the teaching of evolution in public schools has been a
flashpoint in American education. Although its implications are not
yet fully evident, the advent of a modern scientific theory of
intelligent design (ID), and a scholarly research community
advancing this theory (the ID movement) has reenergized and is now
redefining the character of this controversy. Darwinism, Design,
and Public Education examines ID as a science, a philosophy, and
a movement for educational reform. Central to all three aspects of
ID
is its claim that, if science education is to be other than state-
sponsored propaganda, a clear and principled distinction must be
drawn between empirical science and the materialist philosophy that
drives contemporary Darwinian theories of origin and development.
Praise for Darwinism, Design, & Public Education “Darwinism, Design,
and Public Education
should be read by everyone
seeking a fair and
comprehensive debate about
the teaching of evolution in
American public schools . . .
this book’s careful yet
passionate dialogue actually
provides the tools needed by
a democratic public to make
sense of this difficult
controversy.”
