Read the story - there would be no "lesson plan". The teacher cannot initiate or present a lecture about creationism. They have to allow a discussion if the subject is brought up.
This is a good thing. Alternate views should be encouraged - I find it very odd that anyone would want to suppress a climate of inquiry. High school students should learn to think critically - this can't happen if one is only exposed to one sided dogma (i.e. evolution).
I admit that I did not read the link, and I do not oppose discussion if brought up.
Tennessee's Governor didn't sign the "Monkey Bill", but creationism will have a place in the classroom.
Each step forward for creationism is a step backward for science.
It's a shame rabid liberals are not open minded (read that as actually liberal) enough in their beliefs to refrain from attempting to promote legislation that mandates everyone think as they do.

Until you show your students how to create life in a tube or a puddle of muck out of inorganic matter there will always be a void for conjecture.
I guess I'd have to get the help of the physics profs to replicate the Miller-Urey experiment. But, alas, we don't have hoods in the classroom itself and I'd probably set off the fire alarms.

You might want to get some more recent attempts. Science is great, I am fascinated with it. But until then...

So, like, cell membranes form around the biomolecules and you'll suddenly believe in evolution? Do you need RNA too? Ribozymes? What about if we just made some prions and called it a day?
