That's the essence of a scientific point of view, in my mind. I can't think of who said it at the moment, sorry, but I remember a quote by a creationist going something like, "Even if all the evidence in the world supported evolution, I still would not believe it, because that is not what the bible tells me." Of course, that is not an exact quote, but the gist is there.
But then what if they changed their mind again. Suddenly there was something else other than creation, and then they went back to evolution and then they said they had no idea read the Bible? What then?

Just from talking to people of faith about evolution, I can tell that trying to teach religious kids would not be the easiest thing in the world.Indeed. Its a hard job. Its hard to reason with unreason. In other words its hard to reason with 'faith'.
Hypothetically speaking what would you do if science found a way to prove that the earth was created and there was no evolution?
I'd pick up my jawbone from the floor and change my mind.
You had better not leave it laying around, they will stamp "Missing Link" on it and send it out with Dawkins on the Talk Show Circuit. You could buy Tee shirts and buttons.
