As I understand it pre-Darwin beliefs are to be covered for comparison to
show why Darwin's theory was an improvement. That is a "history of science"
issue on a par with covering the geocentric model of the planets in physics
to show why the heliocentric model was an improvement.

"Paul Smith" wrote in message
...
"Creationist theories about how the world was made are to be debated in
GCSE
science lessons in mainstream secondary schools in England."

"James Williams, science course leader at Sussex University's school of
education, told the Times Educational Supplement: "This opens a legitimate
gate for the inclusion of creationism or intelligent design in science
classes as if they were legitimate theories on a par with evolution fact
and
theory."
