Challenge: Evolution Debate in the US settled

Bumpy

Bumpy boingy bouncy bump.

Etc.

Anyway, having read through this, there are some interesting ideas on how to neutralise the creationism / evolution debate.

Sadly, there have been some schools over here in the UK teaching creationism, founded by this guy. Despite what the article says, the guy does appear to have a large influence on teaching in the schools. I did see a program - it was Newsnight IIRC - in which they talked to two former pupils at one of his schools who said when it came to science classes they were taught evolution, but only very briefly. Every time it was brought up it was essentially 'well, the government says we have to teach you this, so,' etc. And then the 'teachers' would say 'However, I believe [Genesis], which is true.'

Also, read this (if you have the time).
