I heard about this one the News today

It seems that the UK, or rather people in the UK want to go down the problems that teaching creationism causes in the US. Not only from Christians, but new Muslims to the country are starting to demand that it be taught in schools along with evolution. It bloody annoys me. Yes it should be taught, but in the right subject area, religion, not in science, Creationism is not scientific in any shape or form. It is theology and faith, pure and simple. It relies on a book written by religious zealots from various cultures with no understanding of how the world and universe really work who have been dead for the past 1000 years. It is like saying Peter Pan is fact. Any teacher who seriusly considers teaching this in science should be sacked as being irresponsible. If they want to teach their version of creation then they should be fair and let Scientologists teach their beliefs, along with Buddhists, Shinto, Jains and the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I bet they would change their tune if little Mohammad or Joe came home from school spouting L.Ron Hubbards view of the world.
