I love maths too, I used to be a maths teacher
The problem with "creationism" is it is no explanation at all. It's a story about magic. It can never be science until it makes some actual testable claims. Those that it has made, such as a young Earth, are demonstrably false.
Most religious people seem to accept all of science just fine, except for the specific parts which make their religious narrative seem foolish. This is exactly where religion is a roadblock to education.
Learning for yourself is always good, though. You shouldn't take anyone's word for things and just leave it at that, be they a scientist or a creationist. If you have no choice and need to take someone's word though, (proper) scientists are the best word you can take.
