Pro-Choice...
It's up to the parents of the children in the schools to make sure the schools are hiring teachers that will require their kids to think critically.
Consider that most (parents) believe that a God is responsible for our existence, so I'd go the Government route to ramrod in those guidelines. A tough choice, but if you think it'll hold up...go for it.

Re: Theoretical Answer
The killer will be modern science and medicine which will do so much that eventually almost all will ask why there is a need for them to believe in God.
Fundies will be converted by the love and grace that shines from your heart regarding all you say and do as you interact with people. No "killer" topics in science or medicine will do the job.

Re: Pro-Choice...
ERV pattern evidence and human chromosome 2 evidence did not exist when most parents went to school.
That's the "What we learned last week" tactic. I have used that one.
So that would mean the idea didn't actually come from "facts" but that some "facts" were scraped up to support the theory. Which happens to be how R&D often works.
I would suggest that such an all encompassing "law of nature" would be prevalent at every level of awareness. If you were raised by seals on seal island, you should see enough evidence to be able to figure out your origins using "seal" intellect.
And I believe one can.

Re: Theoretical Answer
The solution is to take, say Mississippi and Louisiana (so a lot won't have to move), toss all the Creationists in there. Call it Creoland. But, make sure they get none of the benefits from science, i.e. let them wallow in what the say they want. And let them take the consequences of their belief. The USA can be the rest of the country. Borders will remain open for immigration both ways, but no Creationist evangelism will be allowed in the USA and no teaching or bringing the benefits of science will be allowed in Creoland.
How are the 48% of the US population who reject Darwinian Evolution going to fit?

Re: Explanations for incredible claims
Like I said, I'm not going to argue about a 700,000 YO earth.
That's fine with me. I'm not concerned about what Exact year God
Created our existence.
