If those claiming this stipulated the existence of a creator a whole lot of hostility and suspicion would go away.

What is there to stipulate? Science is not going to stipulate to any specific attributes of a creator. Nor any attributes that conflict with evidence, such as a 6000 year old earth or a recent global flood. So what exactly are "they" supposed to accept, prior to demonstration?
