Description

Secularism & Science in the 21st Century brings clear thinking and pragmatic advice to an emotionally wrought field. It covers three important topics: How to mediate the battle between evolution and creationism; the pedagogical challenges of teaching science in a religious environment; and the public policy implications of scientific literacy and illiteracy. The 11 scholarly essays represent a range of viewpoints, from "hard" secularism to "soft" secularism to "soft" religiosity.
