Sure they do. They know for a fact that if they never see a caterpillar evolve into a grasshopper, or a dog evolve into a moose, macro evolution doesn't exist.
You see, to them, you have to be able to witness something to believe it to be true. That's why, every Sunday, they talk to an invisible sky person with male genetalia, and thank him for not having to sit through science classes.
Wow! You've met them? All of them? You know not only what they believe but WHY they believe it?
See I don't believe in creationism. I think life evolved over a few billion years. But I've met some pretty smart people who believe otherwise, and they believe for all sorts of reasons. So although I think they are wrong, I wouldn't know enough to infer their rationale's without talking to them first.
I can think of one off the top of my head who has a degree in podiatry, a masters degree in clinical biomechanics, and Jesus. Now I think he's wrong about the origin of the species and quite a lot of his theology. But I wouldn't say that he'd skipped "science class".
