Ham said that, although today's students learn that scientific evidence supports evolution, there are other ways of interpreting the same data.
It was evolution versus Eden last night in a panel at the Graduate School of Education's Askwith Lecture Hall, as proponents of creationism and evolution sparred about modes of teaching science in public schools.
The panel, entitled "Creationism in Schools," was sparked by the recent decision by the Kansas Board of Education to remove the teaching of evolution from that state's mandated curriculum.
Speaking in support of the theory of evolution were Graham Bell, a professor of Genetics at McGill University, and Brian Alters, head of the science education program at McGill University in Montreal.
The controversy over the teaching of evolution regained national prominence in August when the Kansas board eliminated science curriculum standards in cases where biology, geology and astronomy would be in conflict with the Bible.
