The central issue

The central issue of the essay is the need to teach biological evolution</wiki/Biological_evolution> in the context of debate about creation and evolution in public education</wiki/Creation_and_evolution_in_public_education> in the United States.[2] The fact that evolution occurs explains the interrelatedness of the various facts of biology, and so makes biology make sense.[3] The concept has become firmly established as a unifying idea in biology education.[4]

It is interesting that it does not say "as a unifying idea in biological research."
