There is a school teaching creationism alongside evolution. In fact because it's been in the media I have become aware that there are several such schools including Muslim schools teaching from the Koranic rather than Biblical perspective.
One thing people who lecture on creation-science will tell you is that they meet, from time to time, science professionals and students who say that they have questions about the scientific orthodoxy and perhaps even could be convinced by the creation science arguments - but they will never say so in public because they want to finish their course, keep their job, get promotion and avoid the general opprobrium that would follow.>> I think it should be made clear that, from what I heard in a BBC interview with one of the people involved with the running of the school, we are not talking here about some sophisticated theory about intelligent design. As I recall, the position held by the fundamentalist Christian in question was that human beings appeared on the earth around 12,000 years ago.
