I don't see creationists trying to keep study from happening.

Then you aren't looking. The entire Luddite anti-evolutionist movement is intended to stop scientists from studying fossils and DNA, reconstructing the biological development and history of our planet, and passing that knowledge on to our children.

Try to take your battle armour off and look again. Creationists aren't seeking to keep people from either doing research or from teaching. The Scopes trial was early in the last centurty. It is evolution-from-nothing adherents who are seeking to keep ideas of creation from being taught, like any good "Inquisitors."

Most Creationists can see evolution as God's method of Creation. However, (let me quote from a post YOU had pulled)...

... there's kind of a Darwinian filtering system at work -- the most dedicated creationists are the survivors, and they're the ones who give us our impression of all the rest.
