GSA members speak out at GSA's 1999 Annual Meeting
GSA's Institute for Earth Science and the Environment (IEE) and Geology and Public Policy (G&PP) Committee sponsored two popular events (the G&PP Forum and a Hot Topics debate) on evolution and creationism in the classroom at GSA's Annual Meeting (October 1999). Below you will find a report on the G&PP Forum as well as essays by invited speakers covering the main points presented at both events.
