The clash between evolution and creationism is one of the most
hotly contested topics in education today. This book, written by
one of America's most distinguished science educators, provides
essential background information on this difficult and important
controversy. Giving a sweeping and balanced historical look at both
schools of thought, John A. Moore shows that faith can exist
alongside science, that both are essential to human happiness and
fulfillment, but that we must support the teaching of science and
the scientific method in our nation's schools. This highly
informative book will be an invaluable aid for parents, teachers,
and lawmakers, as well as for anyone who wants a better
understanding of this debate. "From Genesis to Genetics" shows us
why we must free both science and religion to do the good work for
which each is uniquely qualified. Using accessible language, Moore
describes in depth these two schools of thought. He begins with an
analysis of the Genesis story, examines other ancient creation
myths, and provides a nuanced discussion of the history of biblical
interpretation. After looking at the tenets and historical context
of creationism, he presents the history of evolutionary thought,
explaining how it was developed, what it means, and why it is such
a powerful theory. Moore goes on to discuss the relationship of
nineteenth-century religion to Darwinism, examine the historic
Scopes trial, and take us up to the current controversy over what
to teach in schools. Most important, this book also explores
options for avoiding confrontations over this issue in the future.
Thoughtfully and powerfully advocating that the teaching of science
be kept separate from the teaching of religion, Moore asks us to
recognize that a vigorous and effective scientific community is
essential to our nation's health, to our leadership role in the
world, and to the preservation of a healthy environment.
