Doctor Adam Rutherford has told Teachers TV News he has serious concerns over the findings of a survey on creationism in the classroom.
Nearly a third of teachers, who responded to an email poll for Teachers TV, think creationism or intelligent design should be given the same status as evolution.
Of the 248 science teachers who responded, 18% agreed that the two very different theories should have equal status.
Dr Rutherford says that science teachers with those views need retraining or should be taken out of the classroom if they refuse to change their opinion.
