Just adding an update - the CoE is going even further and totally slamming creationists and will publish a website saying Darwin is right and is what should be taught in schools. They are worried by people like Palin who try to stop people learning.

Anglican leaders fear that “noisy” advocates of a literal interpretation of the Bible - especially in the United States, where even the Republican vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, is a vocal supporter - are infecting the perception of Christianity worldwide.

The Rev Dr Malcolm Brown, one of the inspirations for the website, said: “We felt there would be public interest, particularly because of the rise of creationism in the US.

They still want the idea of creationism taught, but not as a science as they don't agree with it being literal.

A church spokesman added: “Creationism should not be taught as a scientifically based theory but could be included in discussion of the development of scientific ideas down the ages or in RE.”

So, the CoE thinks Palin is nuts
