As controversies simmer across the country over teaching evolution, scientists at UC Berkeley are taking the offensive against the modern-day foes of Charles Darwin.

Experts at the university's Museum of Paleontology have created a new Web site designed to offer beleaguered classroom teachers support and guidance through the often slippery attacks they can encounter teaching natural selection and other concepts.

The site, at evolution.berkeley.edu, grew out of a conference that the museum hosted four years ago at which representatives from virtually every national scientific and education organization gathered to consider the growing pressures against evolution curricula.

2. Link doesn't work?

I tried going to the museum's home page (http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/) and then to the new page - still doesn't work. Maybe it's down for renovation? ;-)

was wondering how long scientists were going to take this assault laying down.

finally a quality counterbalance has been employed to turn back the tide.

where's those creationsists and their "scholarship" now?
