New center at Harvard to promote evolution!

July 15, 2000

America’s best-known evolutionist, Stephen Jay Gould, is one of several scientists involved in establishing a new center—based at both Harvard University in Massachusetts and McGill University in Montreal, Quebec—called the “Evolution Education Research Centre”.

Refuting Evolution

A critique of the most up-to-date arguments for evolution to challenge educators, students, and parents. Thus it provides a good summary of the arguments against evolution and for creation. It also exposes the flat earth myth and corrects misinformation about the Galileo affair.

The Centre is headed by Dr Brian Alters. His realization that led to its founding, is that a large number of Americans and Canadians doubt the theory of evolution. For example, a Gallup poll last year found that 47% of Americans believe that God created human beings, and that this happened in the last 10,000 years (which essentially is the biblical model of origins).

Dr Gould, quoted by the Associated Press on July 3, declared: “I think all that shows is that most Americans are woefully badly educated in science, which is our fault, not theirs”. Dr Gould is a Harvard paleontologist, and one of the world’s most vocal opponents of creation science.

The founding of this Center is yet further evidence that evolutionists are becoming more aggressive in promoting evolution as fact to the public. According to the Associated Press article, the Centre will be conducting seminars and making presentations at teachers conventions. Their main target is science educators, teaching at the university level, who will train future teachers (most of them high school instructors).

Dr Alters said to the AP: “We need to craft lessons, activities, and curricula to specifically address why people don’t understand evolution”.

Our ministry counters with the observation that after many years of heavy evolutionary indoctrination in public schools in Canada and the United States, almost one-half of their citizens find the so-called evidence for evolution quite unconvincing and prefer a view similar to the Genesis account of origins. Most already understand evolutionary arguments, but can see right through them.
