About “Of pandas and people”

Of Pandas and People: The Central Question of Biological Origins is a 1989 school-level textbook written by Percival Davis and Dean H. Kenyon, edited by Charles Thaxton, and published by the Texas-based Foundation for Thought and Ethics. The book promotes the idea of intelligent design, which claims that life shows signs of being designed by an intelligent force. While the textbook does not name the designer, supporters believe it refers to the Christian God. The book includes arguments against the theory of evolution. Earlier versions used the term "creationist," but this was changed after the Edwards v. Aguillard Supreme Court decision, which ruled that creationism is religious and not scientific.
