商品描述
This book discusses evolution as the intersection where religious beliefs meet science. This unique interplay has led to an active anti-evolution movement in the US, which causes widespread confusion among the general American public and acts as a seed for students' misconceptions about the theory of evolution and the nature of science. Due to these misconceptions that can impact scientific literacy, this book offers the potential means by which education can help amend these misconceptions. Thus, allowing students to integrate scientific findings about evolution into their worldview without feeling as if they need to choose between their religious beliefs and science.
