Teaching Evolution in a Climate of Science Denial

As promised this is where I found out about the paintings from my last post.  Steven Newton of the NCSE gave a talk about the above topic and whilst it does focus on one scientific concept I think it’s fair to say it can be loosely ascribed to all topics if the science denialism really does spread laterally.  It also shows that creationism is much more wide spread in the states than some of us (myself included) would have realised.  I know that there are a few creationist churches within modest driving distance of where I live, although I’m not aware of any of their kids challenging their teachers the way some do in the states.
