The following is a complete record of the old Black Shadow forum. This was shut down in 2006 after being superseded by the BCSE (British Centre for Science Education) and the new BCSE forum. It contains a lot of interesting material relating to the issue of creationism within the UK up to that time.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to maintain the archive at its original address, as Yahoo delete inactive accounts and their contents.
This record documents the formation of the BCSE, from its insignificant beginnings as a small anticreationism forum with a just handful of individuals, to the point that it transformed into the BSCE campaigning group that has helped raise public awareness of the dangers of creationism within the UK's educational system.
For example, the BCSE helped expose the activities of the Australian creationist John Mackay who was touring schools in the UK giving talks on creationism, as well as helping thwart the activities of the perversely named creationist group, Truth In Science, who were peddling DVDs containing creationist material to schools across the country.
The BSCE website now contains a wealth of information on the issue of creationism within the UK's educational system as well as a comprehensive record of the UK's creationists and creationist organisations. An associated forum for the discussion of creationism related subjects can be found here
Black Shadow may seem a strange name for an anticreationism forum, however, the forum was originally set up to supplement the old Black Shadow website (Tagline - The Black Shadow of Creationism), before it was superseded by this one. The name, in my mind, encapsulates the very essence of creationism, i.e. that it is a fundamentalist black shadow across the face of the human race. If the term sounds sinister that is simply because the creationist movement is itself sinister.
