Default Creationism in science lessons
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4793198.stm

It has been suggested that in GCSE science lessons (15-16 year olds), creationsim should be discussed.

Do you think this is right or should it be kept in the religious education lessons?

Yes, they should discuss creationism. These days, with fundamentalism on the rise, a good education should include a solid refutation of creationist claims.

I don't think creationism should be discussed if the big bang theory is not discussed. It's a case of several different points of view, all unprovable to a certainty. Certainly teach the sciences, but anything that is beyond the scope of how things work are unimportant from a schooling point of view. Let people make up their own minds how things got the way they are.

I'm undecided to be honest. In the UK, not many people would accept creationism as fact nowadays, so there is an argument against its inclusion in the science curriculum, but I also think a point that should be made is the fact that the theories which are currently taught in science lessons are, just like creationism, only theories and not completely proven, thus cannot truly be accepted as the hard truth.

Absolute rubbish. This "it's only a theory" mantra demonstrates a remarkable ignorance. Go read a science book.

So what you are saying is, the big bang theory can be proven beyond all doubt?

A more cogent point: The big bang theory is open to disproof, and scientists are actively trying to find flaws in it.
Creationism is based on an axiomatic article of faith. It is untestable. There is no science involved because science is the technology of testing and disproving.
