Using the Illogic of Creationism to Teach the Logic of Science.
Wells, Neil Andrew
Journal of Geological Education, v37 n5 p317-20 Nov 1989
Presented is a strategy which uses creationism and other pseudosciences as examples of non-scientific approaches to critical thinking to teach students the nature of science and the scientific method. Examples of the illogic of non-scientific approaches are given along with an explanation of how they can be used in teaching critical thinking to introductory science students. (CW)
