Evolutionary theory & history site angers creationists
• Skeptic & Atheist Websites, Weblogs
University of California Museum of Paleontology at Berkeley has created an evolutionary theory website aimed at helping science teachers. The Institute for Creation Research is peeved.
Ellen Simms, UC Berkeley professor of integrative biology and evolutionary ecologist, said it makes sense for the paleontology museum to advocate evolution on its Web site
"The UCMP is a scientific institution, and the fact of evolution and the theories associated with it are scientific, while creationism it not. So it was entirely appropriate for UCMP to focus solely on evolution," Simms said.
[John] Rajca [of the ICR], though, said it is such an attitude that creates a negative view of creationism.
