Science Notes - Book News : "Science And Creation: Geological, Theological And Educational Perspectives", Robert W. Hanson
Science Notes - Book News : "Science And Creation: Geological, Theological And Educational Perspectives", Robert W. Hanson
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
During the past few years the scientific community at large and the education community in particular have awakened to the public's concern about restoring traditional values in American society. The theory of evolution is seen by many Fundamentalists as responsible for the destruction of these values. Thus, in an attempt to restore this value system, a substantial part of the public has supported the movement to teach "creation science," which purports to show that a literal interpretation of the Genesis account of origins, including the notion that the universe is only a few thousand years old, can be supported scientifically.

Twenty Years Ago In Istj: "Live" Geology, Mary Isidore Rohan
Twenty Years Ago In Istj: "Live" Geology, Mary Isidore Rohan
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
How old is the earth? Where did it come from? How was it made? Junior high students are determined to solve all life's mysteries, and therefore geology with its wealth of clues is a likely target for their curiosity. The earth sciences seem to hold an almost mystical fascination for the junior high age child possibly because the adolescent is beginning to realize he is part of the whole universe and not just of a family, and is using his powers of observation to see what this universe holds.
