Letter: Combating creationism

Published 22 November 2006

From Tony and Elisabeth Compton

UK prime minister Tony Blair says that if he notices “creationism becoming the mainstream of the education system in this country, then that’s the time to start worrying” (4 November, p 51).

I’m sorry, Mr Blair. If we do reach that stage it will be too late.
