Download or read book The Politics of Evolution written by David F. Prindle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The controversy over teaching evolution or creationism in American public schools offers a policy paradox. Two sets of values—science and democracy—are in conflict when it comes to the question of what to teach in public school biology classes. Prindle illuminates this tension between American public opinion, which clearly prefers that creationism be taught in public school biology classes, versus the ideal that science, and only science, be taught in those classes. An elite consisting of scientists, professional educators, judges, and business leaders by and large are determined to ignore public preferences and teach only science in science classes despite the majority opinion to the contrary. So how have the political process and the Constitutional law establishment managed to thwart the people’s will in this self-proclaimed democracy? Drawing on a vast body of work across the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, Prindle explores the rhetoric of the evolution issue, explores its history, examines the nature of the public opinion that causes it, evaluates the Constitutional jurisprudence that upholds it, and explains the political dynamic that keeps it going. This incisive analysis is a must-read in a wide range of disciplines and for anyone who wants to understand the politics of biology.
Download or read book Comparative Views on Origins written by Brock Lee and published by UCS PRESS. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brock Lee's debut book stands alone in the creation vs. evolution debate. He documents and compares 23 views on the origins of man, applying the microscope of true science to each view. Systematically, Lee demonstrates how each view stacks up to proven science. The book will either strengthen readers' views or force them to choose between what is true and what is proven to be fraud. His extensive footnotes are as fascinating as the main text.

This book was released on 2009-11-25 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique chronology with entries describing the key events in the 3,000-year conflict between religion and science over the explanation and definition of life on Earth. Exhaustively researched and authoritative, Chronology of the Evolution-Creationism Controversy does what no other work does: it examines the conflict between the religious and scientific views of life on Earth in its full 3,000-year historical context, showing readers how this roiling debate has played out over the centuries. With hundreds of entries, Chronology of the Evolution-Creationism Controversy describes specific cultural, religious, and scientific events relevant to the evolution-creationism controversy from the first notions of creationism in ancient Egypt to the present. Within this historical approach, it identifies a number of recurring themes that have shaped the debate through the ages, including famous court cases, the recurrence of the "intelligent design" argument, disagreements over the age of the Earth, and the impact of technological advances on both the scientific and faith-based viewpoints. While approaching the subject globally throughout, the book's second half focuses on tensions between science and religious thought in the United States since the early 1900s.

He doesn’t avoid controversies, but takes them head-on in great detail. He asks questions Young Earth Creationists, GapTheory proponents and Progressive Creationists (Day-Agers) haven’t seen before! He believes once all of the facts are seen, many will agree: “Genesis One is a local creation.”
Download or read book The Ultimate Dilemma written by John A. Ford and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology and science have done irreparable damage to the theory of evolution in the last few decades. Yet it is still taught in our schools as a fact. This book takes the argument of the ages to a new level. Using facts, not faith, the authors prove that man's explanation for our inception just doesn't work! And the more knowledge expands, the more we shoot holes in all of those unproven, longstanding theories of evolution, Big Bang, punctuated equilibrium and others. As DNA and fossil evidence seem to betray man's best efforts to come up with proof, the Biblical account comes into clearer focus.

Download or read book Virtues as Integral to Science Education written by Wayne Melville and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-02 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By investigating the re-emergence of intellectual, moral, and civic virtues in the practice and teaching of science, this text challenges the increasing professionalization of science; questions the view of scientific knowledge as objective; and highlights the relationship between democracy and science. Written by a range of experts in science, the history of science, education and philosophy, the text establishes the historical relationship between natural philosophy and the Aristotelian virtues before moving to the challenges that the relationship faces, with the emergence, and increasing hegemony, brought about by the professionalization of science. Exploring how virtues relate to citizenship, technology, and politics, the chapters in this work illustrate the ways in which virtues are integral to understanding the values and limitations of science, and its role in informing democratic engagement. The text also demonstrates how the guiding virtues of scientific inquiry can be communicated in the classroom to the benefit of both individuals and wider societies. Scholars in the fields of Philosophy of Science, Ethics and Philosophy of Education, as well as Science Education, will find this book to be highly useful.
Download or read book Fire Breathing Dinosaurs The Hilarious History of Creationist Pseudoscience at Its Silliest written by Philip J. Senter and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dinosaur book like no other, this irreverent chronicle of science and pseudoscience takes the reader on a journey through numerous bizarre ideas about ancient reptiles. Were dragon legends inspired by human encounters with fire-breathing dinosaurs? Do the Bible and other ancient works of literature and art depict dinosaurs? Astoundingly, those and other strange notions have infiltrated grade-school science textbooks. This exposé unmasks the errors that underlie such notions and reveals the science that flattens them, while treating readers to explanations of rocket fuel, nuclear power plants, the electric eel’s shocking capabilities, and how the young-Earth creationist position contradicts the very scripture that it strives to uphold. Finding humor in absurdity, the book shows fans of science, religious studies, folklore, and fire that young-Earth creationist dinosaur pseudoscience is deeply comic once one gets to know it properly.

This fascinating work enables a broad appreciation for the surprising significance of dinosaurs in many aspects of our daily lives and modern society.

Download or read book Does Christianity Really Need Jesus written by J. Clifton Briscoe and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is all this talk of blood, sacrifices, death, and mutilation really necessary? Perhaps all these primitive, barbaric ways of man trying to deal with his predicament is just thatprimitive and barbaric. Furthermore, is man in a real dilemma or is it a fabricated tale of deluded individuals we deem as prophets? Clifton Briscoe tackles this question head on in an expose that gives answers on how we got into this situation and what the answer had to be. This treatise is not preachy. It tells a story. It is a story of people grappling with age -old questions and finding real, meaningful answers. Their stories are links that chronicle a history with an inevitable conclusion. The finale is both wildly dramatic and full of revelation and common sense. It had to be. In Part II, Briscoe shows that the ramifications of these spectacular events of two thousand years ago have not been abated. Actually, there is a groundswell in the reaction to this bloody scene! It can never be stopped!

"and "What does an Abilene Kinko's have to do with the early retirement of Dan Rather?"
