Opposing the Spread of Creationism in the UK
Sneaky this, grabbing the domain for creationsim.co.uk to use as an anti-creationism website! My own belief is live and let live, but I regard Creationism and Intelligent Design as just bunkum ideas and not even close to being theories or hypothesise as say Evolution is.
This website though is concerned with the forced spread of creationism in schools- they say “Creationism is of particular concern, as their main tactic is to target schoolchildren & the schools in which they are taught. They then attempt to undermine a child’s understanding of the principles governing modern science especially that relating to the concept of biological evolution. They also attempt to indoctrinate the children with extreme religious views & antipathy to modern society; views (such as those vilifying homosexuals) which are completely at odds with the values of modern western society.”
After a Christian “Enlightenment” which costs many lives and hundreds of years to get science recognised, it would be just plain awful to have it undermined by those who want to force their religious ideologies down people’s throats. When it replaces or attempts to suppress scientific ideas, through ignorance then it’s time to say stop and that is what creationism.co.uk is trying to achieve.
