Creationism in UK Classrooms
Friday, March 10th, 2006Creationism — as a belief — is to be included in the syllabus for some state secondary schools in the UK. OCR, one of the three UK exam boards, will ask teachers to “explain that the fossil record has been interpreted differently over time (e.g. creationist interpretation)”. Creationism will not be taught as a scientific theory but as a “scientific controversy arising from different ways of interpreting empirical evidence”.
