CENSORSHIP OF EVOLUTION IN TEXAS Section 1.3 was adopted largely in its present form at the urging of Mel and Norma Gabler. In their letter to the Commissioner of Education, dated August 10, 1973, the Gablers protested the teaching of evolution in the state's schools. They complained that the biology textbooks taught evolution as a fact, not a theory, and omitted anyreference
ANNOUNCING A POSSIBLE NEW DEBATE: THE SECOND LAW OF On June 27, 1989, a public debate took place in Vienna, Virginia, between Dr. Edward E. Max and Dr. Duane T. Gish. During this exchange, Max expressed the view that Gish's argument on the second law of thermodynamics is pseudoscientific because it has been consistently stated vaguely (without defining boundaries or specifying the numerical basis for anything). REVIEW: THE PRIVILEGED PLANET The Same Old Shell Game The Privileged Planet is based upon the odd notion that the more unsuitable our universe is for producing intelligent life, the more likely it is that our universe was "designed" to produce intelligent life by a "designer" of indeterminate nature; put another way, supposedly the less likely it is that there could be a planet in our universe that supportsintelligent

CREATIONISTS AND NEANDERTAL As with any evolutionary topic which shows signs of lively debate concerning nuances, creationists have seized upon the nature of Neandertal. The creationist view of Neandertal varies from arguments that Neandertal is an ape, a modern human with bone disease, or an extinct form of human or ape. Transitions are ruled out, of course.

PAST IMPERFECT: SCIENTIFIC CREATIONISM AND PREHISTORIC The creationist account of the human past is radically different (see Figure 2; also Moore, 1983:184-265; Morris, 1974:174-195, 1984:290-426).It begins with creation, usually dated between six thousand and ten thousand years ago.

Science is honest enough to admit mistakes. When new evidence shatters a previous assertion, the old belief is dropped or modified. No such setbacks have hit the theory of evolution.

SUPPORTING TEACHERS
Supporting Teachers. We give science teachers the tools and skills to help students overcome misconceptions and misinformation about climate change, evolution, and the nature of science. National surveys show that 40% to 60% of U.S. public school science teachers hedge, equivocate, or send a mixed message when they teach evolution orclimate
OLD EARTH CREATIONISM Old Earth Creationism (OEC), is a variety of creationism which has existed for hundreds of years; it encompasses a wide range of beliefs. Like Young Earth Creationists, Old Earth Creationists hold that various aspects of living things were created by special supernatural intervention.Unlike Young Earth Creationists, however, Old Earth Creationists accept the scientific evidence for the age of YOUNG EARTH CREATIONISM When most people hear the word "creationism," they probably think of the variety called Young Earth Creationism (YEC). Young Earth Creationists adopt a method of Biblical interpretation which requires that the earth be no more than 10,000 years old, and that the six days of creation described in Genesis each lasted for 24 hours. DEEP TIME IS, LIKE, REALLY, REALLY DEEP, MAN Have you heard the joke about the museum guide who, when asked about the sign explaining that dinosaurs became extinct 65,000,004 years ago, replied, “When we put up the exhibit, the experts told us that dinosaurs had been extinct for 65,000,000 years. PAST VS. PRESENT CLIMATE CHANGE These changes can occur on a variety of time scales from sudden (e.g., volcanic ash clouds) to intermediate (ice ages) to very long-term tectonic cycles. HS-ESS2.D3: Changes in the atmosphere due to human activity have increased carbon dioxide concentrations and thus affect climate. HS-ESS3.D1: Though the magnitudes of human impacts aregreater
TEACHING EVOLUTION IN U.S. PUBLIC MIDDLE SCHOOLS: RESULTS Teaching evolution in U.S. public middle schools: results of the first national survey, from researchers at NCSE and Penn State University, is the first systematic attempt to investigate middle school evolution education through a representative survey of science teachers. FACEBOOK: N > 70,000 A milestone: there are now over 70,000 fans of NCSE's Facebook page. Why not join them, by visiting the page and becoming a fan by clicking on the "Like" box by NCSE's name? SCIENCE AND RELIGION, METHODOLOGY, AND HUMANISM The same principle applies to philosophical materialism, the view at the foundation of our Humanism; we may derive this view from science, but an ideology drawn from science is not the same as science itself. Science is an equal opportunity methodology. Therefore, I agreed with the two theologians who asked NABT to take the words "impersonal THE FLOOD: MESOPOTAMIAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE The Flood: Mesopotamian Archaeological Evidence. The assertion of some historians and archaeologists that a great flood devastated a region of Mesopotamia at the dawn of history and that this event was the origin of the biblical Flood story has become a curious backwater in the debate over creationism. The topic has not proved of major concern CANS AND CAN'TS OF TEACHING EVOLUTION Cans and Can'ts of Teaching Evolution. by Eugenie C. Scott. u000bu000b. High school teachers are in a quandary about teaching evolution. Sometimes they are pressed to teach creation "science" or "intelligent design theory", or "evidence against evolution"; sometimes they are pressed just to forget about teaching evolution.MAIN NAVIGATION

THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR SCIENCE EDUCATION BELIEVES THEY DESERVEBETTER.
THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM SCIENCE TEACHERS RECOGNIZE THAT EVOLUTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE ARE WIDELY MISUNDERSTOOD OR REJECTED IN MANY PLACES. Teaching these topics without specific training is challenging. Many teachers avoid these well-established yet culturally controversial areas of science to avoid conflict. 33% of high school biology teachers fail to unequivocally acknowledge the scientific consensus on evolutionRead the Study
40% of middle and high school teachers teach climate changeinaccurately.
