Evolution and Recommendations
David Bump | Apr 6, 2003 | 2 min read
Evolution and Recommendations [Barry A. Palevitz] concludes that it is better not to burden society with graduates who, "despite their college education and our best efforts, will pass along personal biases instead of an accurate, objective reading of biology."1 To him, the theory of evolution is equal to "[the] germ theory of disease and the cell theory." Does it not occur to him that two people can look at the same "mountains of hard data" and apply valid but different patterns of logic
