Gah!

From today’s Guardian

At another London campus some students have been failed because they have presented creationism as fact. They have been told by their examiners that, while they are entitled to explain both sides of the debate, they cannot present the Bible or Qur’an as scientifically factual if they want to pass exams.

They’re entitled to explain both sides of the debate? Since when was this a ‘debate’? This is like debating whether earthquakes are best explained via plate tectonics, or via stories of a mighty hammer blow dealt by Thor the thunder god aeons ago.
