Description: The Architect and the Scaffold advances the limits of public discourse to provide insight into the challenges which evolution and research into the human genome poses to education in South Africa. The failure to provide full knowledge of some of the most relevant research of our time could do irreparable damage to our children and the scientific progress of our nation. The debates outlined in this book seek to fill the gaps in public knowledge and provide a frame of reference for educationalists, theologians and spiritual leaders to better understand the facts of everyday life.
