Other blogs have been reporting this news, Professor Reiss of the Royal Society has stepped down from his position as head of education over comments he made expressing that he thought creationism should be considered in the science classroom. Of course Dr Dawkins was at the forefront of his call for resignation but he claims he wasn’t. And the best part of it all is that Reiss is an evolutionist. It couldn’t be sweeter.
There has never been a more exciting time to be pro ID. The more scientists they muscle out at the merest sniff of creationist sympathies, the more they’re providing fodder for the history books to compare the early millennium’s science vs. religion debate to the 1950s Red Scare. Oh how sweet it will be in 100 years when GCSE students learn about witch hunts through history, from Salem in 1692 to HUAC in the 1950s to the Creation Witch Hunts of the early millennium. I wish I was around to see it but I’ll be dead by then. Maybe this blog will survive and show that some people recognised mass hysteria for what it really was. The similarity is striking.
