Barry W. Lynn from the Foreword\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore than eighty years after the Scopes trial, creationism is alive and well. Through local school boards, sympathetic politicians, and well-funded organizations, a strong movement has developed to encourage the teaching of the latest incarnation of creationism—intelligent design—as a scientifically credible theory alongside evolution in science classes. Although intelligent design suffered a serious defeat in the recent Kitzmiller v. Dover trial, its proponents are bound to continue their assault on evolution education. Now, in \u003ci\u003eNot in Our Classrooms\u003c\/i\u003e, parents and teachers, as well as other concerned citizens, have a much-needed tool to use in the argument against teaching intelligent design as science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere did the concept of intelligent design originate? How does it connect with, and conflict with, various religious beliefs? Should we teach the controversy itself in our science classrooms? In clear and lively essays, a team of experts answers these questions and many more, describing the history of the intelligent design movement and the lack of scientific support for its claims. Most importantly, the contributors—authorities on the scientific, legal, educational, and theological problems of intelligent design-speak specifically to teachers and parents about the need to defend the integrity of science education by keeping intelligent design out of science curriculums. A concluding chapter offers concrete advice for those seeking to defend the teaching of evolution in their own communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot in Our Classrooms\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone concerned about defending the teaching of evolution, uncompromised by religiously motivated pseudoscience, in the classrooms of our public schools.","brand":"Beacon Press","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":58198319432067,"sku":"9780807032787","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780807032787.jpg?v=1780861846","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/not-in-our-classrooms-9780807032787","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
