There is a group called Truth in Science trying to pass off creationism as scientific proof. It has exported its curriculum to the hapless children in England, and is now being taught as science in some schools.
There is a museum being built somewhere in Kentucky that will showcase creationism. For those with a good sense of humor, the website FAQ is a riot.
How can a normally educated person equate creationism with science and discredit evolution? How is it, in this modern age, mythology is being touted as science?
The group 'Truth in Science' should be called Myth in science. I loved science and I think that Darwin's theory of evolution is fact, so I'm pretty sure that most of these creationists will not be around in a few generations. Especially after reading the letters they wrote to the Guardian protesting an article about creationism. One woman complained that she really didn't see why kids couldn't be shown both theories because science and religion were compatible, and then said that for example, Newton was a creationist and didn't believe in Darwin.
Well - d'oh! Darwin was born two hundred years after Newton, but I suppose for a creationist time is relative. After all, according to them, dinosaurs frolicked with early humans. Oh, and humans were never neanderthals or Cro-magnon. Those skeletons were of deformed humans.
Throw science away and return to the dark ages.
I am SO glad my kids are being educated in France.
