Survey Finds 16% of High School Biology Teachers Believe In Creationism

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

New Scientist yesterday reported that a Pennsylvania State University professor's survey of high school biology teachers reveals that 16% of them hold young earth creationist views. Prof. Michael Berkman's research found that approximately one in eight of the 939 teachers responding to the survey say they believe human beings were created by God within the last 10,000 years. Some 25% of the biology teachers responding say they devote some class time to creationism or intelligent design. Almost half of that group teach one of these as a valid scientific alternative to evolution.
