Creationism has now made it on to a GCSE syllabus. John Crace asks why
these beliefs are being aired in schools

If you believe the book of Genesis, God created the world in six days
flat and took a breather on the seventh. Creationism's sudden
appearance at the centre of the education landscape rather feels as if
it has taken place over the same time span. Not that creationism is a
new idea; it's just that ever since evolution became established in the
19th century as the principal explanation of the origins of life on
Earth, it has been relegated to where most scientists believe it
belongs - the quirky footnotes of history.
