Understanding these debates has become as basic as reading. All citizens need to be scientifically literate to appreciate the world around them and make informed personal choices. It is the responsibility of scientists and educators to provide everyone with the background knowledge to help us cope with the fast-paced changes of today and tomorrow.  http://www.actionbioscience.org/education/hazen.html goes into depth on the issue.
