In the UK, are the media steering us towards Scientific creationism.?

If you are in the UK, (or anywhere else but mainly in the UK) Have you noticed the exponential increase, of science programs, and philosophies in the mainstream media, that are engineered to make you believe in the probability of creation, merely from the "available" elements inherent in the cosmos, and ever further from a theisitic explanation?

Creation Ex Nihilo?

Have you noticed an increase in such dogma? That is the main body of the question, and if so, in what forms have you noticed it? And when did you first notice it?
 
You will have to give some examples because I can't think of any. On TV recently we have had series by Richard Dawkins and David Attenborough, neither of them could be called a creationist!

Just last night on BBC4 I was watching Michio Kaku's series on time, which talked about the mechanisms that cause the aging process, without any hint of the idea of intelligent design, and the excellent new series on chaos by Jim Al-Khalili which had a distinctly non-creationist approach:

"It turns out that chaos theory answers a question that mankind has asked for millennia - how did we get here?"

I was thinking at the time: "They are going to get some letters in green ink about that!".
 
'Scientific creationism' is self contradicting.

Evolution is currently accepted as scientific fact, I have never seen a scientist propose that creationism has any evidence 'at all' to support it.

If you meant:

"In the UK, are the media steering us towards the scientific observation of evolution?"

Then the answer is slightly different. If the media is doing its job, it should just report what it sees and if you look at nature you see evolution... again and again and again. The only place you see gods are in books of mythology.
