I believe the data is roughly split evenly on the issue. God allowed it to be ambiguous so that we would have to have faith. If that is conspiracy then, well, it is.

Please, the only split in this is in your mind.
Why would your god do this sort of thing? Wouldn't he/she/it already know if you had faith or not? You sure have an insecure god who is always "testing" you.

I'm a YEC.
My paragraph on creationists includes me talking to myself (and hearing from others too)! But I will distinguish myself from some YECs who pretend that radioactive decay hasn't occurred or that mammal-like reptiles don't exist.

That is even worse because it shows that you are totally confusing about the data available. You are holding a quite contradictory view.

Given my bias I still think the data points about equally at both options. So therefore it should be in the curicullum. It does not have to be religiously dictated. Anyone from anywhere would tell you that life is an amazing phenomenon and has two obvious possibilities of origin.

Well I would say that the sheer lack of evidence leaves origins of life a philosophical question
And since High School science classes won't be tackling that subject any time soon, its a question that doesn't need any contemplation(from a curriculum point of view). But origins of life is not the issue. The issue is teaching creationism as a hard science along with actual sciences. Like I said before, if a student wants to learn about creationism as part of a college cirriculum then I'm all for it. Just not at a High School level, where students are being introduced to more complex bio, chem and physics.

Yes, they should first get a grounding in legimate science before they are exposed to pseudo-science so they can tell the difference and then dismiss the pseudo-science for nothing more than a load of irrelevant nonsense.

Yahweh
P.S.
And since those who suffer the most in OUR NAME get into Heaven faster I allow (cause) them to die in the most horrible manner available at the time.
And those who win sporting events, or are successful, and give thanks to me for it all I especially love so you should bow down to them as well.
