Science, Evolution, and Creationism
A View from the National Academy of Sciences and Institute of Medicine

This book explains the fundamental methods of science, documents the overwhelming evidence in support of biological evolution, and evaluates the alternative perspectives offered by advocates of various kinds of creationism, including "intelligent design."

Science, Evolution, and Creationism presents the scientific and legal reasons for not teaching creationist ideas in public school science classes, and shows that science and religion should be viewed as different ways of understanding the world rather than as frameworks that are in conflict with each other. For educators, students, teachers, community leaders, legislators, policy makers, and parents who seek to understand the basis of evolutionary science, this publication will be an essential resource.

Science, Evolution, and Creationism can be read or downloaded free from www.nap.edu/SEC
