My reading is so far behind, but...

26 Jul 1996 issue of SCIENCE has an interesting article on Creationism.
(page 420). On page 422, it was stated that Phil's book was purchased
for and sent to every public high school teacher in Alabama ! Pro
evolution groups (NCSE, NABT, PAW) then sent a mailing with a critical
review (probably Stephen Jay Gould's found in Scientific American). I do
not recall hearing about this, but thought it interesting. We have some
disagreements with the book, but also some areas where it is strong. At
least DOT seems to get a listen in those circles where Morris and Gish
don't.
