From the TES; a Christian qualification based on nonsense and Nessie is approved

The Times Educational Supplement reports that ICCE qualification based on creationism have been approved:

They confidently claim that the Loch Ness monster disproves Darwinism and that there is clear proof of creationism. But that has not stopped a set of controversial Christian qualifications - used by dozens of British private schools - being described as comparable to international O and A levels.

The International Certificate of Christian Education (ICCE) has been rubber-stamped by a government agency, even though it is based on a curriculum that says the Bible is the "final authority" on scientific matters. It has prompted outrage from secular campaigners, while schools following the curriculum have come to its defence, saying that it is "academically very sound".
