Teachers 'fear evolution lessons'

Creationism is not taught as a subject in schools
The teaching of evolution is becoming increasingly difficult in UK
schools because of the rise of creationism, a leading scientist is
warning.

Unfortunately creationism is on the rise in the UK, mainly due to Americans 
who come over here from organisations such as ICR and AiG, with their whole 
aim being to spread their nonsense as far as possible. As soon as they're 
allowed in to churches, they get to speak to congregations who are already 
predisposed to believing them and often, to put it bluntly, too dim or lazy 
to go and discover real science for themselves. They then spread it to their 
kids, who start raising it in class: "My dad says evolution isn't true and 
it's just a religion"

Unhappy days :(

I hope that when it is raised in science lessons, the teachers have enough 
sense to calmly and clearly explain why creationism isn't science, which is 
what government guidelines ask them to do.
