I think many (most?) have missed the point of the OP.
The fact is, most who are creationists are not Biblical literalists or YECs. The supposed statistics that show this actually don't even deal with the subject, but a quite different subject, that is then completely ignored and used in a horribly biased fashion.
I'm not saying creationism has a place in science. I'm saying it is not opposed to science. Why would someone want this? Because they believe in God, and feel a guiding presence. It doesn't take away from science, it doesn't take away from evolution.
So please, lets not let this thread circle the toilet and go into something that it isn't; creationism vs. evolution.
I think Skim does make a good point. The definition for creationism, as is generally given, is problem some (I know you didn't say that exactly, but I'm some what paraphrasing). The problem with that though is that there is a small vocal group who has changed the idea of what creationism. It completely ignores that vast variety of different ideas, many of which fully accept evolution (with the idea that God guided it, which is in no way denying evolution).
It does not have to be an either/or choice. Let's please get back onto topic. If you seriously dislike creationism to the point you want to wipe away all thought of it, this is not the thread for you.
