The Process of Scientific Inquiry as It Relates to the Creation/Evolution Controversy: I. A Serious Social Problem
Miller, Jon S.; Toth, Ronald
American Biology Teacher, v76 n4 p238-241 Apr 2014
We describe how the increased level of religiosity in the United States is correlated with the resistance to the teaching of evolution and argue that this is a social, rather than scientific, issue. Our goal is to foster teachers' understanding of the philosophy of biology and encourage them to proactively deal with creationism at all levels, not just in the biology classroom.
