A spokesman at the Department for Education and Skills said: Neither creationism nor intelligent design is taught as a subject in schools, and are not specified in the science curriculum. There is no need to confuse religious theories with proven facts.
The National Curriculum for science clearly sets down that pupils should be taught that the fossil record is evidence for evolution.
There it is, in black and white.Sure, the National Curriculum may well clearly set out scope of learning on the Tudors, magnetic forces and the like. Yet, if all of this learning rests on a foundation that denies any absolutes of right or wrong, and totally denies that the world was created by an awesome God....Where does that leave the nation's children?
Christians need to see the double standards in preaching Jesus as Lord at home, yet knowingly sending their children to be educated towards an entirely different path. It makes no sense. Seeds of doubt are planted in young minds. This may sound the ramblings of a radical, but it's far from it. Just plain and simple reality. I'm carrying this heavy on my shoulders right now, it MATTERS when truth is abandoned.

PS. On an entirely different note...Have you tried fungi hunting? Check out the wonderful specimens in a wood near you! We have had so much fun as amateur mycologists. Try it out, just don't eat any of your finds!!!Excellent free resources on www.fungi4schools.org
