Sobre IBD

The historic Science Textbook Struggle -- a worldwide battle about theorigin of the universe, life, and man -- erupted without warning. It caughtthe scientific illuminati completely by surprise. Why? Because sciencetextbooks had become filled with wild, unbelievable stories about thebeginning of everything. And those tales were simply not scientific! Theuniverse starting with a Big Bang, life arising out of a soup of lifelessamino-acids, humans produced by apes . . . those myths had only replacedancient Greek mythology­ and were being passed off as scientific truths! Caught in the crossfire between educators, news media, textbook publishers,religious notables, and world renowned scientists­ -- including nineteen Nobellaureates -- was a private citizen. Father of six schoolchildren, he hadonly one goal: ­ to prove that science never will have answers for origins!He was up against the arrogance of scientists who were determined todisguise their private beliefs as being the only explanations for the originof the universe, life, and man. This story concludes with a great victory for objectivity -- with more than 200changes being made in textbooks --­ over the objections of the NationalAcademy of Sciences. All discussion about origins was transformed -- byadmission that stories about them are based solely on personal views ofindividual scientists. Remarkably, 3,000 scientists around the world later signed an affirmation to assure that this issue of belief-over-fact in science never be repeated. Wernher von Braun, father of America’s space program, writes in the Foreword: 'Vernon Grose, in tracing out in Science But Not Scientists his personal involvement in the vortex of these two forces, illustrates one more time the humanity of scientists - their likelihood of being just as prejudiced and bigoted as anyone untrained in science. He properly calls for objectivity rather than scientific consensus. He rightly urges that message rather than messenger should be scrutinized and tested for validity. Science will be the richer and humanity the ultimate beneficiary by heeding this clarion call.'

    While the great scientists of the past recognized a need for a multidisciplinary approach, today’s schools often treat math and science as subjects separate from the rest. This not only creates a disinterest among students, but also a potential learning gap once students reach college and then graduate into the workforce.
