Douglas:

YEC has nothing to do with this. I was involved in an initiative to teach
evolution. Not only were we not advocating YEC, we were not even advocating
ID. We were advocating an accurate teaching of the theory. The idea
succeeded like a lead balloon. Any challenge to textbook orthodoxy on
origins will bring out strong opposition.
