'We have said this before, but it is worth saying again: When evolutionists have to campaign to get governments and law courts to enforce the teaching of their beliefs, and ban any criticism or opposing beliefs, they are admitting their ideas cannot stand up to serious scientific critique. If evolution was good science it would stand up to any honest scrutiny, so there would be no need to hide behind politicians and lawyers. Furthermore, they cannot hide behind the excuse of public funding for schools. As the Guardian reminded its readers, it seems a majority of British adults [Ipsos- Mori Survey] i.e. the public who supplied the funds, do not want creation and intelligent design banned from schools.'

You may be suprised to learn that I do not necessarily advocate the teaching of creationism in schools. I would quite happily settle for a system which teaches the evolutionary hypothesis BUT has to backtrack on any scientific issue once disproved and nor would permit discredited data or anything which is opinion or guesswork. (Sauces - gooses - ganders and so on.)
So. Out would go: peppered moths, Galapagos finches, natural selection as an engine for evolution, long ages for coal formation, the geological column etc, etc.
