How much time its needed for people to understand that their ignorance and lack of understanding isn't a basis to refute knowledge? Even worse, its not basis to stipulate a completely unwarranted dogma.
IMO, its that old chestnut that is pride, I mean, some people have invested so much into the belief in gods, probably have mistreated so many fellow humans in the process, that any admission that remotely attacks their cheerished belief system is unbearable psychologically. It is easier, philosophically and psychologically more pleasing to refuse any evidence given than to study evolution. Why should they go to the troubles of reading a bunch of books and understand what is explained in them about evolution, when you can memorize just one and claim it to be the irrefutable truth?
I never memorized any science books, I understood what was being explained in them. It takes work, it takes thinking. I remember school times: I always had grades like 18-20 out of 20 in Biology and never memorized text from the books, but the colleages that did so, struggled to get 10 out of 20 (grades here are 0-20, not A,B... F like in the US).
So yeah, creationism is just the paradigmatic banner of ignorance and lazyness, coupled with the pig arrogance of claiming it to be knowledge.
