ANTH 120 - Evol & Scientific Creationism

Institution:

California State University-Bakersfield

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces logical reasoning and scientific methodology as it can be applied to the current divisive debate between evolutionary biology and scientific creationism. The focus of this course is on elements of critical thinking, including deductive and inductive reasoning, proofs, probabilities, the influence of values, the status of evidence, and legal reasoning. In the context of examining the evidence and arguments offered for and against evolution and scientific creationism, students will demonstrate skills in elementary inductive and deductive processes, including an understanding of the formal and informal fallacies of language and thought, and the ability to distinguish matters of fact from issues of judgment or opinion.
