Creation in the LC Q's (Science)

The Encyclopedia of Bioethics Call Number: QH332 .E52 1995

Creationism is a see reference to Evolution -->

Evolution entry has a subheading "Evolution versus fundementalism and "creation science":

Again, this entry focuses exclusively on the one version of creation that has set itself in political opposition to evolution. In fact, the political and legal controversy over the teaching of evolution in American public schools is the only thing discussed. No other accounts are mentioned at all accept for in a discussion of a court case where it was mentioned that fundementalist "creation science" was only one particular religions view on the creation of the world. Apart from this aside however, this article certainly fails to recognize creation as existing outide of this particular debate.

So true. In someways, finding that texts outside of mythology, religion, and folklore aren't dealing with the topic outside the political debate sadly shows that our topic isn;t quite as interdisciplinary as we hoped. Like history, so many disciplines begin their discourse at from when man was already on the scene. So many disciplines don't look back. I think I am going to check out the literature angle next. Maybe see if their is an encyclopedia of science fiction and/or fantasy.
