So how do we blame the creationists for this one?

by MikeGene

Richard Dawkins makes an interesting claim:

Lamentably, the scientific education of most British and American students omits all mention of Darwinism, and therefore the only alternative to chance that most people can imagine is design.

The scientific education of most British students omits all mention of Darwin? I thought such omissions were only part of the American Creationist Plot. Once again, Dawkins undermines his own stereotypes.

What's interesting is that far more people in Britain accept evolution than in America. How did they do this without mentioning Darwin?

Oh, and one more thing. Could Dawkins be a closet creationist? According to people like PZ Myers, only creationists use the term "Darwinism."
