Topic bypassed "Proposed New Topics" forum
Thread moved here from the Coffee House forum.
Yes, I'm letting this topic get away with bypassing the Proposed New Topics procedure.
To whitlee: Normal procedure is for all topics having to do with the main forum areas of creation/evolution to have to be introduced via the "Proposed New Topics" forum, where they get a quality control check before being released to a discussion forum. As such, this topic should never have been in the "Coffee House" forum. I do, however, recognize that it is tough for new members to know the procedures. Thus I resisted the urge to close the topic when it first appeared.
To all: Just because this topic has been permitted to "bend the rules", doesn't mean that we want such happening as part of the normal routine.

Re: Teach It!
You might find it interesting that I was actually able to conduct this experiment a couple of years ago. I was on the Board of Governors of a small, international private school, and was intensely interested in the science curriculum. The school was one of a handful of International Baccalaureate World (full k-12 IB curriculum) schools. I was asked to provide a two-day module on creationism, specifically YEC, for inclusion in the IB Biology course (for those unfamiliar with IB, this represents a two-year course of studies focused on biology, more or less equivalent to the Brit A level and far beyond the standard US AP Biology). It was, in fact as you suggested, part of the "What is Science" section of the course. I had a ball putting it together - actually with substantial help from a former poster on EvCForum known as TranquilityBase.
The relevent older topic is A Request for Tranquility Base. The topic is still open; It was last posted to 11/22/02.
I haven't reviewed the cited topic, but I suspect that a "grand conclusion" or "final product" message was never posted. I think such a thing would make a good Columnist's Corner topic. Q, if you're up to doing such, please contact admin@. Such a topic should be proposed and refined "off forum", and the result can be posted by Admin, as message 1 of the new "CC" topic.
