PZ Meyers, biolog vid University of Minnesota, nämner Jan Björklund
onsdag 24 september 2008
Under rubriken "Needs more Swedes" nämner PZ Meyers, biolog vid University of Minnesota, skolminister Jan Björklund som ett gott exempel på hur man bör förhålla sig till kreationism. Så här skriver Meyers:
It sounds like many people are working to correct this deplorable backsliding, but they haven't gone quite as far as Sweden.The Swedish government is to crack down on the role religion plays in independent faith schools. The new rules will include a ban on biology teachers teaching creationism or 'intelligent design' alongside evolution.
"Pupils must be protected from all forms of fundamentalism," said Education Minister Jan Björklund to Dagens Nyheter.
Now that is clear, unambiguous, and forceful. Maybe Ben Stein should pay a visit to Sweden sometime.

Citat:
[ID] is not a scientific argument at all, but a religious one. It might be worth discussing in a class on the history of ideas, in a philosophy class on popular logical fallacies, or in a comparative religion class on origin myths from around the world. But it no more belongs in a biology class than alchemy belongs in a chemistry class, phlogiston in a physics class or the stork theory in a sex education class. In those cases, the demand for equal time for 'both theories' would be ludicrous. Similarly, in a class on 20th-century European history, who would demand equal time for the theory that the Holocaust never happened?Richard Dawkins
