Creationism versus Evolution in Alaska Deduction.
Creationism versus Evolution in Alaska Deduction.
When Alaska’s ex-governor, Sarah Palin, was running for office, she was asked whether or not Creationism and/or Evolutionary Theory should be taught in our science classrooms, and why. She replied:
“Teach both. You know, don’t be afraid of information. Healthy debate is so important and it’s so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both. And you know, I say this too as the daughter of a science teacher. Growing up with being so privileged and blessed to be given a lot of information on, on both sides of the subject — creationism and evolution. It’s been a healthy foundation for me. But don’t be afraid of information and let kids debate both sides.”
Bearing in mind what you learned in Chapters 1, and 2 of our Fact-finding text, and following the argument reconstruction guidelines, and (if needed) using the attached article (“Creation Science Enters the Race” – attached) as background, reconstruct (alert: technical term that you should now understand) Palin’s argument. Please do not to include your drafts in your assignment.
Please, again, be aware that you’re being tested on the following skills: reconstructing arguments, understanding deductive arguments, validity, and soundness. These are all content-heavy, technical terms that should not be tackled unless you’ve seriously studied the class’ materials outlined above. Please also bear in mind that the Argument Reconstruction Aid guidelines are just that, guidelines, this assignments requires you to study all the material required (that is, the Chapters in our text also).
Finally, a helpful hint: make sure you understand that Palin must be considered as applying a very specific deductive principle (about something to do with certain school curriculum) to this very specific, particular case at hand. And that you’re (charitably) trying to figure out what is this deductive principle that she must be appealing to.
