Edis, Taner – Reports of the National Center for Science Education, 1997
Discusses the relativist apologetic strategy and describes a scenario in which the strategy could be adopted to give creationism intellectual respectability, thereby having the potential to create a climate where evolutionist arguments for an educational monopoly would not necessarily ring true.
