Err...but isn't the notion that goddidit far more likely to stifle the desire to learn? A better question would be "Is theism intellectual cowardice, or do they honestly believe that there is no evidence for evolution?" (I know that not all theists deny evolution, but enough do...you could replace evolution with anything else theists don't learn about because they are convinced goddidit)
