| "There
is no law that mandates the teaching of evolution, and there should
not be, yet it is practically universally taught in universities
and colleges around the world. The theory of evolution is what is
taught because it is what best explains the data in a rational manner."

Tim Berra is the author of the 1990 book, Evolution and the Myth
of Creationism. Dr. Tim M. Berra is Professor Emeritus of Evolution,
Ecology and Organismal Biology at the Ohio State University. He
is a two-time Fulbright Fellow, and after retirement has pursued
his special interests in the zoology of Australia, often on grant
from the National Geographic Society.
Berra's
book was the result of his having been asked to help local curriculum
writers create a mandated curriculum to include all the science
that demonstrated creationism. The writers had been unable to
find science journal articles explaining the evidence for creationism.
Berra pointed out that such articles do not exist. The book describes,
for policy makers, why politics cannot mandate science that cannot
be done. It is notable for a point-by-point rebuttal to chief
claims of creationism. |
