Middle Ground
Pulitzer Prize winning author and historian Ed Larsen spoke on "From Dayton to Dover: A Brief History of the Evolution Teaching Controversy," Dec. 5 at Drexel University:
"People can draw atheistic implications out of evolution and they can also draw theistic explanations out of evolution," Larson said. "I don't think we should perceive there's a war between science and religion. There are people on the science side who use science to club religion and there are people on the religious side who use religion to club science. But there's also lots of middle ground."
