In my experience in teaching, I have not noticed Catholic students to be less receptive or less interested in science.

You haven't noticed it because it doesn't exist. There is a group here at FR who offer the argument that believing in creation is somehow a detriment to ones abilty to learn science. It is nonsense of course but they argue it nonetheless.

You are aware that quite a few Catholics -- including Catholic clergy -- accept the theory of evolution, aren't you?

You are quite naughty in your use of the term "creationism." You are confusing and frustrating your interlocutors by your eclectic/limited hangout/sui generis use of the term. Very naughty. It is amazing they can't get any traction. If the debate continues to be so one sided, I might have to help them out. :)
