Theodoric,
The issue for most creationists is NOT proving creationism. Most do not have plans for that. Their concern is that they have been taught that evolution stands in direct contrast to their faith. As long as evolution is valid they percieve their faith being under attack.
I've been intricately involved in christianity my entire life. I've taught science in a christian school. I've volunteered at the church. I'm still surrounded by people who believe that evolution is in opposition to faith.
They have placed their faith in the demise of evolution as a scientific theory. The goal of most christians is to just not look stupid or ignorant because they oppose evolution.
I know from experience teaching science and from my own personal journey that it will take time and patience to see the false dicotomy taken down. Millitaristic attitudes will not help because they feel that scientists are attacking their faith.
A major issue is that some prominent scientists have been particularly hostile in their approach. Many christians feel backed into a corner and thus lash out at all of science.
