American Evolution Teacher
Once upon a time, creationists were able to publish articles
explaining their position in The American Biology Teacher (see,
e.g., "Evolution and the Scientific Method" by John Moore, ABT , 35:
23, 1973). Sadly, those days are long gone, but that doesn't mean
that creation/evolution topics have disappeared from the pages of
ABT. In fact, hardly an issue is published without at least one
article on the subject (from the evolutionary perspective). Here is
a sample from just the first three months of 1987:
Callaghan, Catherine A. "Instances of Observed Speciation" ABT ,
49 (1): 34-35, January 1987. (Callaghan writes, "I have cited
several instances of observed speciation...They should also
silence at least one common creationists argument against
evolution.") [ We don't have much question about speciation,
actually, and agree with Callaghan that good evidence exists for
the phenomenon. We doubt, however, that speciation alone is
sufficient for macroevolution. Ed. ]
Hopson, James A. "The Mammal-like Reptiles" ABT , 49 (1): 16-26,
January 1987. (Hopson, an anatomist at the University of Chicago,
writes, "...I conclude that the set of relationships set out in
[this article] is strongly corroborated in its essentials, and
that the mammal-like reptiles are demonstrated to be the
morphologically transitional forms that evolutionists claim them
to be" (p. 24).)
Johnson, Ronald L. and E.E. Peeples . "The Role of Scientific
Understanding in College: Student Acceptance of Evolution" ABT ,
49 (2): 93-98, February 1987. (Johnson and Peeples, both at the
Univ. of Northern Colorado, surveyed undergraduates in the West
North Central states and concluded that college students "have a
low understanding of science." Surprised?)
Woodward, Arthur and David L. Elliott . "Evolution and Creationism
in High School Textbooks" ABT , 49 (3): 164-170, March 1987.
Nickels, Martin D. "Human Evolution: A Challenge for Biology
Teachers" ABT , 49 (3); 143-148, March 1987.
Is it too much to hope that the editors of ABT would ever allow
creationist back into the journal? We wonder...
