Under a False Flag
November 28th, 2006
Nick Cowan is currently in the news at the BBC, advocating the use of some insidious teaching materials handed out by creationist outfit Truth in Science. Here he is introduced as “Nick Cowan, chemistry teacher at Liverpool’s Blue Coat School”. Could this possibly be the same Nick Cowan, “head of the Christian Institute, a charity devoted to the promotion of Christian faith in the UK”? Umm… yes!
For the grand prize, is this the same Nick Cowan who is said to have funded a visit to Blue Coat by arch-creationist speaker John Mackay? Yes!

Ah yes, Nick Cowan again. At the time of the Mackay trip it turned out that his wife was also promoting nonsnese at another expensive Liverpool school (see http://www.ucl.ac.uk/Pharmacology/dc-bits/jurassic.html#bcoat1)

There’s a wealth of information on Nick at the British Centre for Science Education site, but as a special interest group I’m wary of presenting their words as fact until I can properly check them out.
