You'd need more than a small island. Remember that these are politicians, and they will cater to the constituency. If they're saying stuff like that, it's because they know that no matter how it plays on the larger stage, in their county or city or state it will get them elected. In some cases they are counting on hundreds of thousands of votes. Possibly millions.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
