A “Shell seminar” presentation at the annual meeting of the National Science Teachers Association. Claims are made that the various forms of creationism (creation science and intelligent design) are scientific, and that evolution is not. Similar claims are made that the evidence for evolution is poor, whereas the evidence for creationism is strong. What do scientists say about these claims? What should teachers teach when students, parents, or administrators make these contentions?
