When I was in college at Emory, I took a history class in Creationism vs.
Darwinism. About half the class were historians and the rest of us either
anthropologists or theologians (sp?). I wished the class had been taught in a
debate format, with no attention paid to the individual beliefs of the
debators so that an understanding of the opposite view could be attained. I
personally cannot believe in creation theory but I am fascinated as an
anthropologist by those who DO believe.
