Defending the Theory of Evolution Still Seems Needed
Judith S.Weis,a biology professor who serves as president of the American Institute of Biological Sciences(AIBS)is leading a nationwide effort to“defend”the theory of evolution.Weis leads the effort in the face of what the institute views as opposition and indifference from school boards and government entities. The Institute believes that the teaching of evolution in America is being diminished by the teaching of creationism as well as by an overall lack of teaching Darwin’s theory in high school.“There’s nothing that requires schools to teach evolution.Sometimes teachers in high schools just leave it out.However,from the point of view of biologists,evolution is the central theory of biology upon which everything is based,”said Weis.“Unfortunately,teaching evolution has become a political issue in many parts of the country and AIBS,as a representative of biologists,wanted to be a major force speaking out in favor of its teaching.”
