include creation science in science as a competing theory of evolution .

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

To formulate a curriculum of creation science to be included in The National Curriculum specifications for the Teaching of Science in schools.
Science considers the full range of evidence to explain a concept. Currently the government is ignoring creation science as another explanation to explain origins alongside evolution and denying children the right to this knowledge. There are numerous published papers which would confirm this evidence and it is only right that this evidence be brought to the classroom for children to consider.

Why it was rejected
