Top 10 Questions to Ask About Evolution
Mon, Nov 27, 2000
Ann Arbor, Michigan – Many people, including biology teachers and school administrators, erroneously believe the law forbids them from discussing any other theory of human origins besides Darwinian or naturalistic theories. In fact, teachers and students enjoy considerable academic freedom to address this controversy in a scientific way. Modern science has certainly provided ample reason to critique contemporary Darwinian theories of evolution. What is often presented as fact in many high school biology textbooks is simply not so.
The Thomas More Center for Law & Justice has published a bookmark listing questions about evolution that students should ask in biology class. This bookmark identifies ten “icons of evolution” that are often presented as evidence to support Darwin’s theory of evolution. The flaws of this so-called evidence, however, often go unnoticed. This bookmark identifies some of these flaws and invites students to critically analyze the evidence for evolution and to discuss it in their biology class.
According to Richard Thompson, Executive Director and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Center, “This bookmark is a simple device designed to promote critical thinking and discussion. To uncritically teach just one side of this important and controversial subject constitutes indoctrination and not education. We are merely equipping students with the truth.”
