Truth In Science Newsnight Debate
I looked at this site after seeing a debate on the BBC Newsnight video netcast. The debate was between Professor Andy McIntosh of Truth in Science and Professor Lewis Wolpert of the British Humanist Association. Truth in Science want to present intelligent design as a theory to be discussed alongside evolution. They have produced a teaching pack for schools, which promotes this agenda. 59 schools have bought this pack in the UK.
The British Humanist Association is horrified about this teaching pack, because they see it is overlooking an evidence based approach in favour of promoting religion in science education. Jeremy Paxman oversaw this debate. You can download it this week using Itunes or another netcast subscription program. Search for Newsnight.
