The debate is about how to resist the attempts of young-earth-creationists to disrupt science teaching. Secondarily it is about how to teach biology to people whose religion gives them creationist views without causing them undue offense. Michael Reiss addressed the second of these issues but failed to understand the dangers of the first. The Royal Society is the premier scientific organisation in the UK and by pussyfooting around on this issue has damaged its reputation. "Darwinists" is a propaganda term used by creationists for evolutionary biologists, which seeks to suggest that they are believers in an ideology, instead of basing their knowledge strictly on evaluation of evidence, which is the case. - By the way, thanks for the link. You seem have been the ftrst to have noticed it. I immediately brought it to attention of the BCSE forum.
