But Is It Science? The Philosophical Question in the Creation/Evolution Controversy

Booknews

Contains 27 essays which examine the creation/evolution debate by taking as a point of departure the editor's experience as an expert witness in a creation "science" test case in Arkansas. Four sections cover the 19th-century background, evolution today, the creationist challenge, and the philosophical aftermath. The authors explore the claim made by proponents of creationism that it is a science and therefore deserves to take its place among other scientific theories that are taught in school systems throughout the country.
