Abstract
The controversy over teaching evolution is everywhere in the news today. The attempt by the state of Ohio to deal with this issue has now become a model for other states. The new Ohio science standards (Anonymous, 2002) include much about evolution - the word evolution (or its cognates) occur at least 74 times in the document. The standards also include the requirement that teachers of grades 10 through 12 "critically analyze" evolutionary theory (pp. 37, 132, and 225).
