4. Unit 2. 17 - Should intelligent design be taught in school
Unit Should intelligent design be taught in school? Can I have a volunteer to read the passage below?
"I think that learning about evolution in science class conflicts with my religious perspective," says Matt. "How can I believe that God designed human beings, and also believe in the concept of evolution? I need to choose one or the other."
"Many Americans disagree with you, Matt," says Professor Seemy. "They would say that belief in God doesn't conflict at all with belief in evolution. A lot of people who believe in evolution, including scientists, also think that God played an important part in creating human beings.
They believe that God started the process of evolution, or guided evolution as it happened."
"That's an interesting perspective to think about," Matt says, "but how do you know that 'many Americans' really disagree with me?"
"That's a great question, Matt. In science, we should support our opinions with evidence. Let's look at some data!" says Professor Seemy.
