Provides a rationale for including evolution as part of a college general education curriculum, discussing the content of evolutionary theory, instructional principles, Darwin's contributions, evolution and religion, and the relationship of evolution with current events. (DMM)

The article's thesis is that evolution's intellectual foundations have been steadily eroding, and that few new findings in embryology, taxonomy, fossil remains, and molecular biology are bringing us very near to a formal, logical disproof of Darwinian claims. The paper begins by discussing the evidence of a prehistoric world, then they discuss…

A comparison of religious and scientific explanations of the origin of life is discussed. It is felt that both sides are equally guilty in their approaches to win converts. In the true education of students, there should be open-minded explanations. (DF)

Doubts about the validity of the general theory of evolution are raised. Evidence in favor of evolution is circumstantial and not reproducible. Teachers should explain the theory of creation proposed in the Bible when discussing evolution. (PS)

Part II of a two-part article that examines the doctrine of special creation embodied in the Creation Research Society's high school biology textbook, Biology: A Search for Order in Complexity," from an historical perspective. This part examines the concept of ideal type" in the creationist position. (AL)

Man can aspire to control his evolution and direct it towards goals which he finds good, salutary, worth living for....The one most 'natural' thing for man is to modify nature by means of his knowledge." (Author/AL)

Describes scope, methods, and history of evolutionary biology. Illustrates the application of new mathematical treatments to problems of speciation, homology and ecology. Urges biologists to become familiar with these methods and to adopt a mathematical approach in teaching, arguing that much ecology taught today is irrelevant to theories now…

Describes somatic and genetic manipulations of individual genotypes, using diabetes control as an example of the first mode that is potentially realizable be derepression or viral transduction of genes. Advocates the use of genetic engineering of the second mode to remove man from his biological limitations, but offers maxims to ensure the…

Describes some unique features of marsupial reproduction which include (1) chromosomal sex determination, (2) reproductive system, (3) birth, (4) location, and (5) embryonic diapause. These features suggest that viviparity evolved separately in eutherian and marsupial stocks after their derivation from a common oviparous ancestor. Bibliography.…

Discussion of (1) the scientific and theological attitudes prevalent when "On the Origin of Species was published and (2) the rhetorical approaches and devices Darwin borrowed from the works of predecessors. (RD)

Argues that there is a place in the classroom for both the scientific facts of evolution and the mystery and beauty of creation metaphors. (MM)

By combining the best of three different approaches to futurism--crisis futurism, evolutionary futurism, and spiritual futurism--we can realize vast human potentials and, perhaps, even attain the next stage of human evolution. (Author/RM)
