The BBC says:
Parents are being encouraged to challenge their children's science teachers over what they are explaining as the origins of life.
An organisation called Truth in Science has also sent resource packs to all UK secondary school science departments.
It promotes the idea of intelligent design - that there was an intelligence behind the creation of the universe.
...
The Truth in Science website says: "We consider that it is time for students to be permitted to adopt a critical approach to Darwinism in science lessons."
Oh no, the Christian nutters have migrated from America to Britain. And you can pretty much guarantee that any organisation that calls itself "Truth in Science" is neither interested in the truth nor in science. Of course all scientific theories are flawed somehow or other, and Darwin's theory of evolution has been argued over and refined by many scientists, and some day it will be superseded. But it will be superseded by a better scientific theory, not by some religious mumbo-jumbo which its protagonists cynically try and portray as just another scientific theory. In the good old days these people just admitted to believing in creationism.
