QuoteSpeaking at a seminar on faith schools, Mrs Ainsworth, who is responsible for almost 5,000 primary and secondary schools, said: "While it is not something I would subscribe to, it is a recognition that there are different ways of looking at the evidence."

Intelligent design is often seen as a more "acceptable" version of creationism, the strict Biblical theory that God created the world in six days 6,000 years ago.

Its proponents argue that life on Earth is too complex to have evolved on its own, suggesting that there was a hidden hand behind the creation of man.

The retort that came to mind is that there might just be a need to teach in faith schools that there are different ways of looking at the Bible, and that it might just be too simple to explain the creation of man literally....   ::)

Well, I can work out who some of the responders in the Telegraph comments list are, but who is Barti Ddu? (links to guess where).

Hardly new but I do like "Maybe we should include the teaching of evolution in RE lessons?"

Perhaps Barti Ddu is related to Foggy Dew from TOP.
If so her posting style has improved.

Guessing from the writing style, leads me to think of a number of people it isn't. I hate life being negative ;)
