Evolution in Court. A Federal Judge Defines Science
Journal Title: Scientia et Fides - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This article highlights certain recurring themes in Mariano Artigas’s works by examining a judicial decision made in the United States in 1982 concerning the teaching of “creation-science” alongside “evolution-science” in public schools. These themes include: the proper delimitation of the boundaries of science, the importance of philosophy as a bridge between science and religion, and the misunderstandings concerning the limits of science inherent in scientism.
