Climate change and evolution are topics at the forefront of political discussions, debates, and the public sphere. Regardless of evidence on both topics, the public as a whole still believes they are under debate. It is imperative that the public have access to correct and easy-to-digest information on these topics to make informed environmental…

Science's inductive method required patient, humble and self-controlled behavior; Christian revelation demanded the same virtues. The discoveries of science and the truths of scripture would always harmonize as long as both men of science and men of faith conducted themselves in scrupulous accordance with their duty. So ran a central argument in…

This article is part of the author's current research into science teachers' perspectives on the theory of evolution and its teaching in the classroom. Anti-evolutionary views have recently become very prominent in the context of science education, with almost one third of science teachers in the United Kingdom agreeing that creationism should be…

"Approaches and Strategies in Next Generation Science Learning" examines the challenges involved in the development of modern curriculum models, teaching strategies, and assessments in science education in order to prepare future students in the 21st century economies. This comprehensive collection of research brings together science educators,…

Discusses the accuracy of dating methods and creationist arguments that radiometric dating does not work. Explains the Manson meteorite impact and the Pierre shale, the ages of meteorites, the K-T tektites, and dating the Mount Vesuvius eruption. (Author/YDS)

Indicates the importance of the Galapagos Islands in the study of evolution. Introduces the book "Ecology and Evolution: Islands of Change" and presents activities on geology and ecology. (YDS)

Drilling during 1978 focused on three major geologic problems: the nature and origin of the oceanic crust, the nature and geologic history of the active continental margins, and the oceanic paleoenvironment. (Author/BB)

Research efforts tended to focus on the ancestry of major groups in 1978, and in particular on Cambrian fossils. (Author/BB)

The abundance and distribution of the elements on the earth can, in part, be explained in terms of chemical properties such as reduction potentials, solubilities, ionic size, densities, melting points, and pH. The relative abundance of the elements, their distribution, and their concentration, particularly on the earth, are discussed. (Author/BB)

Provided in this document are reviews of 31 creationist publications. The reviews, written by Iowa teachers and scientists, were conceived in 1982 during a drive by Iowa creationists to install their books and other materials in the schools of 60 Iowa communities. Introductory comments on the format of the reviews and several generalizations are…

The first of a three-part article in which the author discusses some past events which provide insight into why the theory of evolution gradually displaced the doctrine of special creation. (PEB)

This biogeography module is designed for students wishing to study evolutionary interrelationships with the physical environment. Topics studied include various aspects of historical biogeography and evolution. Categories included are: (1) barriers to the dispersal or organisms, (2) the zoogeographic regions, (3) genetic change, (4) selection, and…

Techniques in geochemistry continue to improve in sensitivity and scope. The exciting areas of geochemistry still include the classical fields of the origin of the elements and objects in space, but environmental crisis problems are important as well. (Author/BB)

Work reported on here includes such topics as: the origin of the solar system, a planet-crossing asteroid survey, and Mars and Venus probes. (BB)

A direct and definitive response to the creationist Noah's ark arguments is presented in this publication. Although the Bible is used as a constant reference point, the author does not engage in biblical criticism. The critique is rather directed at the leading creationist books and experimental studies that seek to scientifically prove that the…
