Abstract
I was listening to the chairman of the House Education Committee of the State of Oregon discuss the merits of the creation concept. He felt that creation was not valid. It had had its chance, it had been tested by science and had been discarded, it was therefore no longer worthy of consideration. This line of reasoning is common. A recent documentary film issued by the Scientific Research Society of North America iterates the same theme; namely, that the idea of creation had been rejected by scientists ago. I heard somewhat the same concept expressed at a meeting sponsored by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study. Here the speaker declared that biology textbooks should boldly assert the fact of evolution because, as he stated, "after 100 years [since Darwin] it's about time."
