Read volume 15, issue 27 (July 29, 2005) of the CQ Researcher (Congressional Quarterly Researcher) paying particular attention to the “pro/con” debate on page 653.

Should alternatives to evolution theory be taught? One side says yes, the other side says no.
Choose which side of the argument you agree with and argue, in YOUR essay, why you support that side. Do not take the middle road—you must choose a side. Your essay needs to be between 800-1000 words telling whether or not alternatives to evolutionary theory should be taught in public schools. Your essay needs to be double-spaced, with a title. IF you are using MLA, your name, the course number, my name (Dr. Jones) and the date need to be in the upper left hand corner of your submission. If you are using APA, you need a title page. Do not use contractions, the word “you” in your essay or the words “a lot.”
