Re: British School Inspectors
Those of us who attended the Templeton Foundation Science and Religion
Course Workshop at MIT in the summer of 1998 heard a presentation by
Rosemary Peacocke, Arthur Peacocke's wife, on teaching religion in UK
schools. Rosemary is one of the Queen's Inspectors of Schools. She might be
in a position, especially with the support of her husband, to act on this
issue if she (and Arthur) were to be given information about the creationist
movement in the US, particularly the Morris-Ham axis and their activities.
I think I can get ahold of Arthur's email address, if anyone should like to
follow up on this.
My suspicion is that Arthur would consider it appalling to find it necessary
to become involved in an engagement with a YEC movement in the UK. He is,
however, quite concerned to express his strong objections to the ID
movement, which he sees as a contemporary version of special creationism,
appearing to be more scientifically sophisticated than YEC, but founded on
the same theological premise of supernatural intervention as God's means of
actualizing novel creaturely structures in the course of time.
