Sadly these values are being eroded when it comes to a belief in Almighty God as Creator of the earth & all life upon it. Intelligent Design as a valid worldview is no longer tolerated by our Government in any scientific context within our schools. This is a denial of Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights & our nations heritage. Neither Intelligent Design nor The Theory of Evolution provides empirical evidence within a lab. They are differing interpretations of facts & are both accepted upon the basis of faith according to a persons chosen interpretation. Therefore we the undersigned petition Her Majesty's Government to allow any school, academy or Free School to discuss or teach Intelligent Design as a valid world view within the scientific, philosophical, social & religious disciplines should they desire to do so.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2012-01-13T00:04:11.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:49.055Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:37:22.722Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2012-01-13T00:04:11.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
