World science academies fight back against creationists


PhysOrg.com:

In a veiled attack on creationism, the world's foremost academies of
science on Wednesday called on parents and teachers to provide children
with the facts about evolution and the origins of life on Earth.
......
Signatories of the declaration include the US National Academy of
Sciences, Britain's Royal Society, the French Academy of Sciences and
their counterparts in Canada, China, Germany, Iran, Israel and Japan
and elsewhere.

The statement does not name any names or religions, nor does it explain
why it fears the teaching of evolution or the scientific explanation
for the origins of planetary life are being sidelined.

It comes, however, in the context of mounting concern among biologists
about the perceived influence of creationism in the United States.
