Biology is based on fact,

The beginnings of the world & life are based on the factual knowledge we have today. (NOT the middle ages where many facts were assumptions)

Beliefs religious or otherwise have no place in any science subject
They are not fact.

Religious beliefs should stay within the RE lessons, where such things are discussed instead of it filling science lessons & pushing out more scientific fact needed for the course

I agree with Bob. Don't religious lessons already teach the other 'perspectives on human origins' anyway? If biology lessons were to change to cover these other perspectives, then surely religious lessons should cover the other perspectives on human origins too.

Yes there are 2 separate issues-

-one is scientific truth

-the other is superstitious nonsense!

I dont agree,
these are two seperate issues,

One is: if you are a religious believer then that is the route YOU will follow,

the other is scientific, and again if you are a believer in science then THAT is the route to follow,

to my mind the two dont mix......

More than half the population believes children should be told about creationism - the belief that God created the world - in school science lessons, a poll reveals today.
Some 54 per cent of Britons want biology teachers to discuss 'alternative perspectives' on human origins alongside traditional explanations of evolution.
