On Thursday, the National Academy of the Sciences (NAS), “the nation’s most eminent scientific organization,” produced a book “on the evidence supporting the theory of evolution and arguing against the introduction of creationism or other religious alternatives in public school science.” The NAS notes that scientific progress has “reinforced evolution’s role as the central organizing principle of modern biology.” “We wanted to produce a report that would be valuable and accessible to school board members and teachers and clergy,” said Barbara Schaal, vice president of the academy and biologist at Washington University in St. Louis. Conservatives such as former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, for example, have often insisted that there is still a debate on the origins of mankind and that the science clashes with religion. But as the book states, “attempts to pit science and religion against each other create controversy where none needs to exist.” The book will be available on the NAS website.  Source – The Progress Report
