12월 31일 (생명의 기원 : 진화론과 창조론)

[no78ok]

 마지막 날에 걸맞는 의미심장한 주제를 택했습니다.

 보통 의견이 둘 중 하나로 갈리는 주제이기 때문에

 첫번째 세션에서 원래대로 조별 토론을 한 다음에

 두번째 세션에서 찬반 두 진영으로 전체 토론을 하면 어떨까요?

 진화론에 대해서는 제가 보충설명을 할 수 있을 것 같구요,

 또 '지적 설계론' 혹은 '창조론'에 대해서도 (누군가 아시는 분 계시면) 배워보고 싶습니다.

 제가 발췌한 아티클의 전체 원문(the Time)은 다음 페이지에서 보실 수 있습니다.

The Evolution Wars

When Bush joined the fray last week, the question grew hotter: Is "intelligent design" a real science? And should it be taught in schools?

Posted Sunday, Aug. 7, 2005

Sometime in the late fall, unless a federal court intervenes, ninth-graders at the public high school in rural Dover, Pa., will witness an unusual scene in biology class. The superintendent of schools, Richard Nilsen, will enter the classroom to read a three-paragraph statement mandated by the local school board as a cautionary preamble to the study of evolution. It reads, in part:

Because Darwin's theory is a theory, it is still being tested as new evidence is discovered. The theory is not a fact. Gaps in the theory exist for which there is no evidence ... Intelligent design is an explanation of the origin of life that differs from Darwin's view. The reference book Of Pandas and People is available for students to see if they would like to explore this view ... As is true with any theory, students are encouraged to keep an open mind.

After that one-minute reading, the superintendent will probably depart without any discussion, and a lesson in evolutionary biology will begin.

That kind of scene, brief and benign though it might seem, strikes horror into the hearts of scientists and science teachers across the U.S., not to mention plenty of civil libertarians. Darwin's venerable theory is widely regarded as one of the best-supported ideas in science, the only explanation for the diversity of life on Earth, grounded in decades of study and objective evidence. But Dover's disclaimer on Darwin would appear to get a passing grade from the man who considers himself America's education President. In a question-and-answer session with Texas newspaper reporters at the White House last week, George W. Bush weighed in on the issue. He expressed support for the idea of combining lessons in evolution with a discussion of "intelligent design"--the proposition that some aspects of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause or agent, as opposed to natural selection. It is a subtler way of finding God's fingerprints in nature than traditional creationism. "Both sides ought to be properly taught," said the President, who appeared to choose his words with care, "so people can understand what the debate is about ... I think that part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought."

Q. Do you think we are created by God or have evolved through a natural process ?

Q. Are the evidences of the evolution that have been proposed by the scientists convincing ?

Q. Can we say "Intelligent design" a science ?
