If it's not clear, what we mean to say is that good science teaching can never hurt (teachers who actually understand evolution could at least give future evolutionary biologists a headstart!). But, science education by itself, no matter how good, can't by itself bridge the cultural divide reflected by the evolution-creation tug of war. Darwin is but a pawn in a much bigger cultural conflict.Anne Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212151396672651221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812431336777691886.post-9355554142435834132009-10-19T10:03:47.146-04:002009-10-19T10:03:47.146-04:00Here here!
