Should Evolution Be Immune From Critical Analysis in the Science Classroom?
Buckna, D; Laidlaw, D. 1996.  Impact 282:i-iv. CELD ID 2905

Abstract
This fall it was back to class for millions of students enrolled in schools, colleges, and universities throughout Canada and the United States. For those taking science courses such as biology, anthropology, and earth science, it's quite evident that evolution is the reigning paradigm in science today. University of Calgary biology professor Gordon Pritchard's statement on evolution is a good example of this mode of thinking: " . . . evolution currently provides the best explanation for the diversity of life on earth, including humans" (Calgary Herald, August 3, 1995, p. A5).
