"Ethics, Education,
and the Evolution Debate"

The Center for Ethics at The University of Montana will be offering this 3-credit short course next month (June 19 -22 and 26 - 29).

The description is as follows:
Ever since Darwin published the Origin of Species in 1859 the theory of evolution has been hotly contested. In recent years the debate again has intensified over science education. On the one hand, the opponents of evolution argue that teaching evolution promotes an atheistic, materialistic philosophy.
