Uppdaterat litteraturlistan med Only a Theory av Kenneth R. Miller.What does the challenge to Darwin's theory of evolution in America today mean for our future? To Kenneth R. Miller, award-winning professor of biology at Brown University, the rise of "Intelligent Design" is symptomatic of a much greater struggle: one involving a broad assault on the very reason and skepticism that fueled our stunning scientific advances. A truly comprehensive book, Only a Theory does more than show why ID collapses as a scientific movement - it passionately lay out a prescription for how we can save the "scientific soul" to which America owes so much.

Citat:
[ID] is not a scientific argument at all, but a religious one. It might be worth discussing in a class on the history of ideas, in a philosophy class on popular logical fallacies, or in a comparative religion class on origin myths from around the world. But it no more belongs in a biology class than alchemy belongs in a chemistry class, phlogiston in a physics class or the stork theory in a sex education class. In those cases, the demand for equal time for 'both theories' would be ludicrous. Similarly, in a class on 20th-century European history, who would demand equal time for the theory that the Holocaust never happened?Richard Dawkins
