Carrier, Richard
Reports of the National Center for Science Education, v20 n4 p25-34 Jul-Aug 2000

Presents a summary analysis of all known examples to be used to check these claims whenever they are brought up in conversations, debates, books, or articles. Addresses scientific work misused by anti-evolutionists and the pseudoscientific assertions of the anti-evolutionists themselves. (Contains 42 references.) (ASK)
