Science and Education
Well, unlike many YECs (probably because I am not trying to convince the public school system to teach creationism?), I have NO problem invoking the miraculous in the event.
So most of us have no arguement with you then, we have NO problem with what you want to teach in church.
However, this is the science side of the site. Here evoking a miricle is an explicit admission that, within the natural world that science deals with, the flood (for example) isn't possible. So it doesn't (as you note) belong in a science classroom.
If the world's YEC's would stand up and honestly admit this there would be little or no further reason to discuss all these things. There would be no legal fights going on and this site might not exist.
However, why would you waste your time and the time of others if you think a miracle is the answer to anything? Why ask about dry land sediments for example. They too can be a miracle. Anything you like can be a miracle there is not need to ask questions or discuss what we do know.
If your God can perform these miracles why would He bother with a flood or finding water under the crust? He can just magic water up from nothing. The answer, of course, is that only those who want this stuff taught in a science classroom make up such utter rubbish to try to pretend there is any science there. You are honest and realize that it is, as science, rubbish (though why you are bothering with it needs to be explained). Those who push this stuff are clearly either dishonest or rather ignorant/stupid.
