ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
I remember very clearly being taught about spontaneous generation and
the Lamarckian theory of evolution in my junior high and high school
science classes.
What would people think of the idea of including Intelligent Design in
that context? Is it still inappropriate, because those other theories,
though incorrect, were at least attempts at a scientific explanation,
while ID is not? Or would this provide educators with a good opportunity
to explain why ID does not hold up as science, just as those other
theories did not hold up?
