Thread: Stop Teaching Creationism

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has stepped into the controversy between religious fundamentalists and scientists by saying that he does not believe that creationism - the Bible-based account of the origins of the world - should be taught in schools.

Giving his first, wide-ranging, interview at Lambeth Palace, the archbishop was emphatic in his criticism of creationism being taught in the classroom, as is happening in two city academies founded by the evangelical Christian businessman Sir Peter Vardy and several other schools.[/b]

I really like this bloke, i can't remember hearing of him doing anything that i particularly disagree with/think is a bad thing.

He's a bit of a populist. What's next? 'Ab of C says: don't really worry about doing all that stuff in the bible, it's optional!'

QFT!!!

A good burn should be both funny and painfully true, and this is the best burn I&#39;ve seen in a long damn time. Phrog, you&#39;re my new hero

This is surprising coming from somebody who appears on this side of the Atlantic to be a religious conservative -- opposition to homosexuality and all that.

Creationism deserves mention in schools as follows: "There are many religious theories as to the creation of the universe, the planet, and life. We will not be examining any of them; instead, we will look at the scientific evidence available to us."
