A unique chronology with entries describing the key events in the
3,000-year conflict between religion and science over the
explanation and definition of life on Earth. Exhaustively
researched and authoritative, Chronology of the
Evolution-Creationism Controversy does what no other work does: it
examines the conflict between the religious and scientific views of
life on Earth in its full 3,000-year historical context, showing
readers how this roiling debate has played out over the centuries.
With hundreds of entries, Chronology of the Evolution-Creationism
Controversy describes specific cultural, religious, and scientific
events relevant to the evolution-creationism controversy from the
first notions of creationism in ancient Egypt to the present.
Within this historical approach, it identifies a number of
recurring themes that have shaped the debate through the ages,
including famous court cases, the recurrence of the "intelligent
design" argument, disagreements over the age of the Earth, and the
impact of technological advances on both the scientific and
faith-based viewpoints. While approaching the subject globally
throughout, the book's second half focuses on tensions between
science and religious thought in the United States since the early
1900s. Comprises over 1,400 chronologically arranged entries on
important political, legal, and social events in the ongoing
controversy between science- and faith-based views of the Earth and
life Offers a thorough bibliography spanning historical aspects of
the controversy, creationist literature, and resources from
evolutionary biology Includes a one-of-a-kind glossary for easy
access to definitions of relevant terms used by both
anti-evolutionists and scientists Provides an extensive index
serving as a reference tool and as a way to explore recurring
themes Presents detailed appendices on estimating Earth's age, the
geologic timescale, major species of known Hominines, and key legal
decisions involving the teaching of evolution and creationism
