About this title

Synopsis

Creationism USA reveals how common misconceptions about creationism have led Americans into a century of unnecessary culture war histrionics about evolution education and creationism. Adam Laats argues that Americans do not have deep, fundamental disagreements about evolution, but that they do have significant disagreements about creationism. Creationism USA both explains the current state of America's battles over creationism and offers a nuanced yet straight-forward prescription to solve them.
