I think the information should be 'sugar-coated', and most certainly should not stress the ignorance or attack the religion of the creationist (because then the creationist will think he/she is being attacked, so will put up defenses against your teaching).
There isn't much you can say to a YEC that they won't see as an attack on their religion.
You can't convince a fanatic with facts. You have to attack the fanaticism at its source.
