Word Of God Teaching Evolution
775 wordsTeaching evolution in schools is a highly debated issue between science and religion. In Kansas, the State Board of Education has decided to de-emphasize evolution in favor of the creation story. Throughout the science community, it is believed that evolution should be taught in school because of all the scientific evidence that points to the validity of evolution and because it is a cornerstone of biology. Most all other states emphasize the importance of evolution, as do most colleges. In the ...

Natural Sciences Main Characters
904 wordsShakespeare once said, "Life is but a stage and men merely players on it.

Teaching Of Evolution Church And State
1,448 wordsCreation: Where do We Come From? The issue of teaching creationism in the public schools has long been debated. Over the years many different arguments have been made.

MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty concluded that DNA was the basic genetic component of chromosomes. Later, RNA would be proven to regulate protein synthesis. (Miller, 139) DNA is the genet...
