intelligent design? in school science lessons?

woodchurchscience — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 14:57:21 +0000

state schools could teach the theory of intelligent design in science lessons, the church of england’s new head of education has suggested. the rev jan ainsworth, who is responsible for more than 4,600 schools, said intelligent design – which argues that living species are too complex to have evolved through natural selection and must therefore be the product of a guiding “designer” such as God – could form part of discussions in science lessons.

keith wood, executive director of the national secular society, said:

“intelligent design is nothing to do with science and therefore nothing to do with the history of science. We challenge the church of england to keep religion out of science lessons and unless it does so its educational reputation will be tarnished with the stigma of fundamentalism.”

stephen cox, executive secretary of the royal society, said:

“the theory of evolution is supported by the weight of scientific evidence. the theory of intelligent design is not. the royal society supports questioning and debate in science lessons, as long as it is not designed to undermine young people’s confidence in the value of scientific evidence.”
