Darwin, Humanism and Science - James Williams

James Williams talks to the Darwin, Humanism and Science day conference (6 Jun 2009) on "Insidious Creationism" and why we should teach children early in their education about geological time and the theory of evolution. More in his published BioEssays September 2009. Belief versus acceptance: Why do people not believe in evolution?

Friday’s Times Educational Supplement featured an article on James Williams and his talk at our recent Darwin, Humanism and Science day conference. We've now posted James Williams' talk to our YouTube channel www.youtube.com/britishhumanists as the second in a series of videos from the day. Williams suggests that “insidious Creationism” is a genuine threat in the UK and explains why children need to encounter geological time and natural selection early in their education.
