Examines court cases affecting academic freedom. Observes that the courts have not established a separate and independent right to academic freedom, although they have almost unanimously upheld the right of the student to learn and the teacher to teach that which is controversial utilizing the First Amendment protections of freedom of expression…

Biological evolution can be carried out in the laboratory. With new knowledge available in genetics, possibilities are raised that genetic characters can be transferred in the future to embryos according to a predetermined plan. (PS)

Author proposes that the process of natural selection has resulted in higher forms of life. The Theory of Creation fails to appreciate the continuing nature of the natural selection process. Proofs of the natural selection process and the origin of species with new characteristics are observable. (PS)

Combines biological, biochemical, and psychological data toward the construction of a bio-psychological theory of behavior. Postulates that the presence of periodic stimuli in the environment have induced, through natural selection, the appearance of organisms capable of exploiting the environment by utilizing information in periodic stimuli. The…

It is important to analyze the normative values that have made science and technology successful as practical ethics. The values of science are an important part of human nature. If we want to maintain any hold on the future, their social importance is paramount. (Author)
