Persistent resistance to the teaching of evolution has so drastically impacted science
curricula that many students finish school without a basic understanding of a theory that is a
fundamental component of scientific literacy. This evolution creationism controversy has
crippled biological education in the United States and has begun to spread to other parts of
the world. This book takes an educational point of view that respects both the teaching of
evolution and religious beliefs. Authors from different academic traditions contribute to a
collection of perspectives that begin to dismantle the notion that religion and science are
necessarily incompatible.
