Truth in Science

Hasty lobbying by BHA

Tuesday, 03 October 2006

It appears that when the British Humanist Association (BHA) wrote to the Education Secretary last Friday, they had not seen the contents of our resource pack.

The BHA asked the Government to inform teachers that the TiS resources “are totally unsuitable".

They apparently knew this even though they had not viewed a copy of the resources we sent to schools.

In a press release titled “Truth in Science – Lies, Lies, Lies” the BHA claimed to have “learned” that Truth in Science sent teachers “copies of ‘teaching resources’ on CD.”

This suggests they had not watched the DVDs we sent to schools before asking the Government to make an official announcement against them.

Was their letter based on evidence or prejudice?

Evolution by natural selection...has lately come to function more as an antitheory, called upon to cover up embarrassing experimental shortcomings and legitimize findings that are at best questionable and at worst not even wrong.
