RadMod calls the creationism movement a fad, a fad that is being transplanted to Britain. In the article excerpted below, London colleges are described as having to deal with a LOT of fundamentalist Muslim and Christian creationists.

The kids will grow out of it as long as the adults don’t give them any slack —- The article points out that professors ARE failing the students when they present Bible or Koran creationism as scientific fact on their papers and tests.

So for now at least, the kids can’t pass their classes unless they know the real science. I hope it stays that way.

Bible-quoting science students on rise - World - smh.com.au

Some are being failed in university exams because they quote sayings from the Bible or Koran as scientific fact and at one college in London, most biology students are now thought to be creationists.

Earlier this month, Muslim medical students in London distributed leaflets that dismissed Darwin’s theories as false. Evangelical Christian students are also increasingly vocal in challenging the notion of evolution.
