Well yes, a mind set that requires actual evidence does have a problem
accepting something like creationism that has no evidence at all.

No one has prevented consideration of creationism. As a matter of fact
it has been studied quite a lot and found to have major problems.
If creationism was taught as it really is you wouldn't like the result.
Personally I think it would be great if teachers were allowed to show
just how weak the creatinist position is.
