You may have seen that the Royal Society's director of education has
called for creationism to be taught in school science lessons.
The Rev Michael Reiss, who is apparently also a professor of biology
as well as a Church of England clergyman, came out with the following
priceless gem:
“Just because something lacks scientific support doesn’t seem to me a
sufficient reason to omit it from a science lesson.â€
Hey, Doug, perhaps if you ask the good reverend nicely enough, he will
call for your "two ozones" theory to be taught as well.

Why? Can I ask them to teach the theory that we are all an alien experiment
( as in 2001: A Space Oddysey etc). There's as much proof of that, as their
is of his beliefs
