Christian creationists have launched another attempt to introduce
intelligent design into New Zealand’s schools.
Focus on the Family
recently sent intelligent design (ID) material (
The Privileged Planet
CD and booklet) to 400 high schools, requesting they be made available
to science teachers and school libraries (see
Christians
challenge teaching of evolution ).
Focus on the Family’s executive director Tim Sisarich said the
material was intended to expose pupils to an alternative theory of
cosmology.
“We’re a Christian organisation so we believe that God made the
planet and God made the cosmos … Science takes a theory and tries to
establish it as the truth, and that’s all this is.”
