TLDR

A compulsory creationist conference run by US-based fundamentalist group Answers in Genesis instructed science teachers from Queensland Open Brethren schools to teach creationism, including the idea that vegetarian dinosaurs were taken aboard Noah’s Ark. The conference disputed radiometric dating techniques and encouraged teachers to incorporate the material into their science and humanities lessons, raising concerns about the schools' responsibility to educate children based on the curriculum.
