No room for creationism in science lessons
The British Humanist Association (BHA) has responded today to the findings of a survey for the British Council, conducted by Ipsos Mori, which found that 54% Briton’s agreed with the view that “Evolutionary theories should be taught in science lessons in schools together with other possible perspectives, such as intelligent design and creationism.”
Naomi Phillips, BHA Public Affairs Officer, said ‘The findings of this survey should be of concern to all of us. They demonstrate how seriously public authorities need to treat the growing threat to public education from creationism and associated pseudoscientific ideas. Schools and teachers need to ensure that scientific theories and religious myths are not conflated, there is no room for creationism in science.’
