Refuting Evolution

Book Description

In 1925 a schoolteacher was taken to court for teaching evolution in the public school system. The famous Scopes Trial pushed Darwin to the forefront of our society.

In 1962, the National Academy of Sciences published and distributed a book to public schools and other institutions entitled Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science. This publication was designed to persuade and assist teachers to present the theory as fact and counter anti-evolutionist students with statements such as:

• "No one saw the evolution of one-toed horses from three-toed horses, but that does not mean that we cannot be confident that horses evolved." (pg. 55)
• "... there is no debate within the scientific community over whether evolution occurred, and there is no evidence that evolution has not occurred." (pg. 4)
• "... scientists themselves use the word 'theory' loosely and apply it to tentative explanations that lack well-established evidences." (pg. 5)
  
• "... 'creation science' is the idea that scientific evidence can support a literal interpretation of Genesis... scientists have looked at the arguments and found they are not supported by verifiable data." (pg. 9)

So, now we have digressed from the legalities of teaching evolution in our schools to a single mindset that evolution, though unproven, is the only answer to the question of human origins.

And we wonder why we are having problems with children in our public school systems!

The result of ths mindset is the terror of unfathomable violence and aimless culture. Refuting Evolution shakes off the debris of hopeless, unsubstantiated theory, and shines a light of educational freedom where it is desperately needed.
