Values are entirely irrelevant. Facts are facts.
With a proper education, evolution is presented in a case as iron clad as gravity or the speed of light. It's when things interfere with that proper understanding that you get people like Ray Comfort or the nuclear physics professor that you made up because your argument can't stand on its own. Instead of allowing themselves to objectively view the fact, the verification of those facts, and the testable pattern that those facts create, they allow religion to bleed in, to undermine science with faith.
Why don't we do this: list every piece of evidence for creationism and, if you can find anything. Without even having a degree in biology, I'll debunk it completely. When that happens, we can lay the idea that creationism is anything but religion trying to invade science's space to rest.
Edit:
Let me make one thing clear: you can be a scientist that believes in god, in fact about 8-10% of scientists do, but you cannot be a scientist and subscribe to the theory of creationism (6,000 year old earth, people living with dinosaurs, no evolution). They are mutually exclusive in the same way that you cannot have an abstinent porn star.
