To make it clear, I think ICR is on the right track, they simply need a little fine tuning. The tuning would simply be that they present creation from the standpoint of design exclusively. I agree that the introduction of the miraculous or a specific religion into church and state matters is probably not going to fly.
It is true that the more they pretend not to be creationists, the better they will be able to pretend that they're doing science.
The trouble is that they
are creationists. The whole
point of the ICR is to serve as a creationist propaganda front. The only reason anyone would want to do their "science education" course in the first place is to learn how to make children into creationists.
