From an Ipsos / MORI poll of UK primary and secondary school teachers …
To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statement: “Creationism is completely unsupportable as a theory, and the only reason to mention creationism in schools is to enable teachers to demonstrate why the idea is scientific nonsense and has no basis in evidence or rational thought”?
Agree 26%, Disagree 54% (67% who cite humanities as their subject specialism).
37% of teachers thought that creationism should be “taught” (as opposed to “discussed”) alongside evolution “in science classes”, including 29% of teachers who identified themselves as science teachers.
