CREATIONISM SHOULD NOT BE TAUGHT

Deméré, Thomas A, and Steve Walsh. "Creationism Should Not Be Taught in Public Schools." At Issue: Religion and Education. Ed. Tom Head. San Diego: Greenhaven Press, 2005. Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center. Gale. INLAN - Gonzaga University Library. 19 Oct. 2009 <http://find.galegroup.com/ovrc/infomark.do?&contentSet=GSRC&type=retrieve&tabID=T010&prodId=OVRC&docId=EJ3010391210&source=gale&srcprod=OVRC&userGroupName=gonzagaufoley&version=1.0>.

This article focuses on defining creationism and discussing whether or not it is science or religion. It explores the argument that evolution cannot be proven to be true and creationism cannot be proven to be false, so both should be taught. This theory comes from Creationists whom the author believes to be incorrect because he believes that science is taught in schools to teach kids how to accurately observe and understand scientific theories in order to function in the 21st century.


Michael Ruse. "Intelligent Design Should Be Taught in Religion Classes, Not Science." At Issue: Intelligent Design vs. Evolution. Ed. Louise Gerdes. Detroit: Greenhaven Press, 2008. Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center. Gale. INLAN - Gonzaga University Library. 19 Oct. 2009 <http://find.galegroup.com/ovrc/infomark.do?&contentSet=GSRC&type=retrieve&tabID=T010&prodId=OVRC&docId=EJ3010482211&source=gale&srcprod=OVRC&userGroupName=gonzagaufoley&version=1.0>.

This article talks about how creationism is different from Intelligent Design. Either one, the author believes, should not be taught unless in a religion class, not a science course. He also highlights the argument that teaching Intelligent Design in unconstitutional.


CREATIONISM SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN CURRICULUM


Wiker, Benjamin D. "Creationism Explains Life on Earth." At Issue: Creationism Versus Evolution. Ed. Eric Braun. San Diego: Greenhaven Press, 2005. Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center. Gale. INLAN - Gonzaga University Library. 19 Oct. 2009 <http://find.galegroup.com/ovrc/infomark.do?&contentSet=GSRC&type=retrieve&tabID=T010&prodId=OVRC&docId=EJ3010182214&source=gale&srcprod=OVRC&userGroupName=gonzagaufoley&version=1.0>.

This article focuses on Intelligent Design and its scientific validity. The author argues that it is just as a credible theory as Darwin's because there is evidence to back it up. He also explains what Intelligent Design agrees with in Darwin's theory and what they do not.
