Good Sense and Faith

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has come out against the teaching of creationism:
I think creationism is ... a kind of category mistake, as if the Bible were a theory like other theories ... if creationism is presented as a stark alternative theory alongside other theories I think there's just been a jarring of categories ... My worry is creationism can end up reducing the doctrine of creation rather than enhancing it.
