Wendee (and others):
May I recommend for your reading the document called "Evolution, Science,
and Society" which is available at the American Society of Naturalists
website (www.amnat.org). The document was prepared, with input from the
public, as a cooperative effort by several biological societies concerned
with evolutionary biology. As much as possible, it represents a consensus
of evolutionary biologists' views on evolution, including how it is
studied, how it contributes to society, and how it contributes to basic
science. I believe the document (which may be downloaded or ordered as a
booklet - perhaps good for class reading) address the range of issues
relating to your question.
Sincerely,
Doug Hayworth
