Are nature's complex forms evidence of "intelligent design"? In this Evolution essay, biologist Kenneth Miller explains how the processes of evolution account for complex structures such as the human eye.
In this Evolution Web essay, biologist Ken Miller responds to "intelligent design" proponents who argue that only an intelligent (i.e., divine) designer could have produced a biological structure as complex as the eye. Miller clearly explains the evolution of the never-perfect eye, putting intelligent design arguments to rest with biological evidence.
Academic standards correlations on Teachers' Domain use the Achievement Standards Network (ASN) database of state and national standards, provided to NSDL projects courtesy of JES & Co.
We assign reference terms to each statement within a standards document and to each media resource, and correlations are based upon matches of these terms for a given grade band. If a particular standards document of interest to you is not displayed yet, it most likely has not yet been processed by ASN or by Teachers' Domain. We will be adding social studies and arts correlations over the coming year, and also will be increasing the specificity of alignment.
