Eighty years after the Scopes trial, the debate over the teaching of evolution continues to rage. There is no easy resolution—it is a complex topic with profound scientific, religious, educational, and legal implications. How can a student or parent come to grips with this issue? Evolution vs. Creationism provides a badly needed, comprehensive, and balanced introduction to the many facets of the current debate—the scientific evidence for evolution, the legal and educational basis for its teaching, and the various religious points of view—as well as a concise history of the evolution-creationism controversy. A section of primary source documents from all sides of the issue is included. (Source) [1]: http://ncse.com/evc
