Science curriculum must evolve: Sir David Attenborough says creationism should be banned from the classroom
The teaching of creationism should be outlawed in school science lessons, a group of leading scientists have said.
And the curriculum should be changed to ensure evolution is taught from when children start school, according to academics including Sir David Attenborough and Professor Richard Dawkins
Those behind the call for ‘evolution not creationism’ say teaching that God created the world is dangerous and must be prevented by law.

Drives by creationist groups at schools mean there is a sense of urgency, they add.
Evolution – the idea that we are shaped by advantageous genes being passed through generations over billions of years – does not feature in the national curriculum until the time of GCSEs.
The discussion of creationism and the theory of intelligent design – a view that evolution is fine-tuned by God – is encouraged but not part of the curriculum.
Prof Dawkins, a geneticist and author of the God Delusion, said last night: ‘We need to stop calling evolution a theory. It is as solidly demonstrated as any fact.’
Jack Valero, of Catholic Voices, said evolution should not be used to suggest God does not exist.
Dr Peter Saunders, of the Christian Medical Fellowship, said pupils should be taught to respect all views about how life began.

The lie of evolution was being taught as fact in my high school in the 1960's, and prayer and the Bible were banned from that school at that time.

I 'used' to be in a Sunday School class with women older than me...(58)

Anyway...many times I would hear them talk about the 'ole days' where the Bible was taught in school in Texas...

This is the way it should be,but now, our government allow immigration to run out of control, we have sooo many 'false religions' with their 'false gods' within the U.S.

We didn't adhere to the OT teachings where God told Israel to marry within the Jews..not to bring foreign wives into the Jewish roots, with their false gods...

There were always 'consequences' for Israel, and now, we are suffering our own consequences of sin...

Anyway...many times I would hear them talk about the 'ole days' where the Bible was taught in school in Texas.

Now I really feel Old! Ouch!
