Dissent about Descent: Evolution, Design, and Education

In: Philosophy of the social sciences: an international journal = Philosophie des sciences sociales, Band 40, Heft 3, S. 467-478

Abstract

Pace Fuller, religion is neither necessary nor sufficient a condition for the development of evolutionary biology. Their historical connection notwithstanding, they are better considered as separate systems of ideas, in parallel to the manner in which they separated themselves as systems of institutions. As to schooling, enriched teaching of the real history of biology should be sufficient.
