The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and Institute of Medicine (IOM) has just released Science, Evolution, and Creationism, a book designed to give the public a comprehensive and up-to-date picture of the current scientific understanding of evolution and its importance in the science classroom.
In my estimation this book is a must read for all Americans, especially those who wish to counter the claims of the so-called Creationists and their agenda of teaching Creationism in the classroom as science. This slim book calls for and enumerates the benefits of the teaching of the science of evolution. It also claims that such an approach should not threaten religion, because religion has a separate realm of interest.
