When it comes to evolution, most people are thumbs up, thumbs down, or even thumbs sideways. No matter where your thumb is pointing, you must ask the question: what is evolution? The U.S. Court System has witnessed seemingly endless litigation over this topic, yet it has used the term in major cases without clearly outlining a consistent and scientifically agreed upon definition. Public schools are required to teach it, but have also not outlined a scientifically agreed upon definition. State and federal educational agencies that create standard curricula frameworks have failed to offer a consistent and scientifically agreed upon definition of biological evolution. Public educators are free to teach evolution based on the direction their thumbs are pointed. This reality has placed the future of science at risk. How logical is it for our nation's educational framework to require biological evolution, but not require a standard definition? If Theodosius Dobzhansky is correct in saying that "nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution," then what is evolution? used books,books Books, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform<
