As Aron Ra has said many time, to paraphrase, that there comes a time in a creationists' education and life experience when they are faced with the question-- "Do you want to be a creationist or do you want to be honest?"
I suspect that those who remain creationists after that point of education and knowledge just really don't care about whether something is true or false. The doctrine must come first no matter what.
Actually - the 7 largest xtian sects - representing over 75% of the worlds xtians - accept that evolution happened - although they disagree on the origin of initial "life". It is a relatively few sects that require the absolute belief in the inerrancy of the bible - down to Adam and Eve - and it can be shown that few of those actually believe the creation stories of the bible anyway.
Since evolution has nothing to do with the origins of life, they fully support evolution and merely reject abiogenesis.
