Creationism v science...a school on report
Anna Patty, in the Sydney Morning Herald, reports that the state school registration and curriculum authority has investigated the teaching of creation theory in science classes at a Christian school.
The Board of Studies responded to a complaint about Pacific Hills Christian School in Dural, Australia.
The board referred the complaint to Christian Schools Australia, asking it to investigate.
The head of Christian Schools Australia, Stephen O'Doherty, said his organisation had found no reason for Pacific Christian School to lose its registration. "The whole thing is a complete furphy," he said. The school did not teach intelligent design or "creationism" - creation as scientific theory. He said the school had met the Board of Studies syllabus requirements in teaching evolution theory as science.
Interesting that a Christian school gets in trouble for alledgedly teaching ID.

We are a group of individuals, coming from diverse backgrounds and not speaking for any organization, who have found common ground around teleological concepts, including intelligent design. We think these concepts have real potential to generate insights about our reality that are being drowned out by political advocacy from both sides. We hope this blog will provide a small voice that helps rectify this situation.
