Publisher's Synopsis
For more than 150 years, bitter controversy has raged over one of the most profound questions of our time: Which of two ways was the Universe and all life on Earth created? One is called Creationism; the other is called Evolution (or Darwinism). This Essay provides current evidence in a fair, just, objective and easily understood way about each of the two ways that could have been used in creating, sustaining and changing the Universe and all Life on planet Earth. The urgent need for this fresh examination of the evidence now available on these issues is appended as background, titled: "The Evolution of Anti-Evolution in Public-School Science Classes." The Essay background describes and documents the fierce legal, intellectual, moral, religious and educational battles that have occurred and continue to surround these important issues. This evidence-based Essay speaks directly to the concerns of many individuals and groups of persons. It is dedicated especially to the current generation of American youth to help them be better prepared to live, learn, enjoy and participate understandingly in this fascinating scientific age.
