The Science and Religion Wars.
Singham, Mano
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n6 p425-32 Feb 2000
The recent flap over the Kansas State Board of Education's decision to drop knowledge of evolution theory from its science standards has rekindled the perennial science/religion debate in education. This article examines mutual relationships of three knowledge structures (science, mainstream religion, and fringe beliefs) and the middle-ground's shaky foundations. (Contains 21 references.) (MLH)
