Submission + - Royal Society 'Creationism' resigns (bbc.co.uk)
Chris_Keene writes: "The BBC reports that Professor Michael Reiss who recently caused a storm with comments about teaching creationism in schools has resigned from his post as director of education at the Royal Society. Turns out 'creationism should be taught in science classes' was a bit of a misquote. The highly respected Lord Prof Robert Winston said "This is not a good day for the reputation of science or scientists. This individual was arguing that we should engage with and address public misconceptions about science — something that the Royal Society should applaud.""
