Creationism Versus Evolution

KLIATT

The At Issue series provides a range of opinions on current controversial topics, including both primary and secondary sources as well as annotated lists of organizations to contact. An introduction summarizes the issues involved. This title offers seven essays by research fellows and professors in various fields, from biology to philosophy: "Evolution Alone Explains Life on Earth"; "Creationism Explains Life on Earth"; "Molecules Were Designed by a Creator"; "Molecular Biology Points to Evolution"; "Public Schools Should Teach the Creationism-Evolution Controversy"; "Public Schools Should Teach Evolution Only"; and "Evolution and Creationism Both Contribute to Human Understanding." The vocabulary and concepts discussed in the essays are fairly advanced, but high school students seeking information on this hot topic for debates and research papers will appreciate the diversity of opinions here and the helpful summaries at the beginning of each article.
