When is Truth False?

“Welcome to Truth in Science, an organisation promoting good science education in the UK. Our initial focus is on the origin of life and its diversity.”

Good stuff? Read on:-

“For many years, much of what has been taught in school science lessons about the origin of the living world has been dogmatic and imbalanced. The theory of Darwinian evolution has been presented as scientifically uncontroversial and the only credible explanation of origins.”

Now read the truth:-

"The organisation Truth in Science is the central issue facing the anti-creationist movement in the UK. The organisation Truth in Science is the central issue facing the anti-creationist movement in the UK. Truth in Science is trying to push for the teaching of creationism in state schools. However, it does not have the honesty to admit this; it is actually trying to pass off its “science” as Intelligent Design.

Nearly all of the people who are involved in Truth in Science are prominent young earth creationists.

Truth in Science appears to have raised a considerable sum of money and has sent creationist material to every head of science departments in UK state schools and colleges. The material is well organised and presented and shows how teachers can sneak creationism and/or Intelligent Design into the science classroom.

Truth in Science has adapted the US technique of “teach the controversy” to get its fundamentalist religion into the science classroom. It hasn’t the honesty to tell the public what its real intentions are. It has withheld from the public that it is backed entirely by young earth creationists and religious fundamentalists.

  1. Hi Richard, thanks for reminding us about #
    ''Truth' in Science'. I blogged them http://hassers.blogspot.com/2007/09/government-warns-schools-against.html
    when the government sent out a warning to all schools about their activities last September.

    I quickly got a comment from David Anderson http://bcse-revealed.blogspot.com/
