creationism/evolution
Cosmology
non-fundamentalist


Rumor has it that more than 20 books on creationism/evolution are in the publisher's pipelines. A few have already appeared. The goal of all will be to try to explain to a confused and often unenlightened citizenry that there are not two equally valid scientific theories for the origin and evolution of universe and life. Cosmology, geology, and biology have provided a consistent, unified, and constantly improving account of what happened. 'Scientific' creationism, which is being pushed by some for 'equal time' in the classrooms whenever the scientific accounts of evolution are given, is based on religion, not science. Virtually all scientists and the majority of non-fundamentalist religious leaders have come to regard 'scientific' creationism as bad science and bad religion.
有傳言說，有20多本關(guān)于創(chuàng)世論與進(jìn)化論之爭的書即將出版，其中有幾本已經(jīng)面世。出版所有這些書的目的是試圖告訴那些迷惑不解且常常頭腦不開化的普通百姓：就宇宙和生命的起源與發(fā)展問題而言，不可能存在兩種同樣成立的科學(xué)理論。對于所發(fā)生的一切，宇宙學(xué)、地質(zhì)學(xué)、生物學(xué)已經(jīng)提供了一貫的、統(tǒng)一的并且是在不斷完善的解釋。而“科學(xué)”創(chuàng)世論——當(dāng)課堂上講授進(jìn)化論時，有些人就想爭搶“相同的課時”來解釋它——是基于宗教，而非科學(xué)的。實(shí)際上，所有科學(xué)家和大多數(shù)非原教旨主義宗教領(lǐng)袖們都已將“科學(xué)”創(chuàng)世論看作是拙劣的科學(xué)和拙劣的宗教。
