Teach the controversy

[edit] Overview

If we teach the controversy over evolution, should we teach these other discredited, antiquated, and unscientific theories as well?

"Teach the controversy" is a phrase used to describe the creationism movement's latest campaign to undermine popular acceptance of science via attacks on the theory of evolution by natural selection (which they label as Darwinism and try to paint it as just another groundless, arbitrary belief like creationism).

2007-04-04 /S/D/ Teach the controversy! “Any biology, Bible, or other courses at PHC dealing with creation will teach creation from the understanding of Scripture that God's creative work, as described in Genesis 1:1-31, was completed in six twenty-four hour days. All faculty for such courses will be chosen on the basis of their personal adherence to this view. PHC expects its faculty in these courses, as in all courses, to expose students to alternate theories and the data, if any, which support those theories. In this context, PHC in particular expects its biology faculty to provide a full exposition of the claims of the theory of Darwinian evolution, intelligent design, and other major theories while, in the end, teach creation as both biblically true and as Biblically correct the best fit to observed data.”
