Submission + - Royal Society Calls for Creationism in Science (bbc.co.uk) 1
mijkal writes: "The director of education at Brittain's Royal Society is calling for so-called creationism to be taught in UK science classes. From the article: 'Rather than dismissing creationism as a "misconception" ... it should be seen as a cultural "world view". Teachers should take the time to explain why creationism had no scientific basis. ... [The director] stressed that the topic should not be taught as science.' The article goes on to say that the director — who is a biologist and a Church of England minister — believes it is more effective to engage with pupils' ideas about creationism, rather than to obstruct discussion with the 1 in 10 students who do not accept the scientific version of the evolution of species."
