You know, Stuart's thoughts just beg this observation (I want to say
it's from Isaac Asimov, but I'm not sure...)

"Science is made up of facts in the same way a house is made up of
stones. But a collection of facts is no more science than a pile of
stones is a house."

Jonah Cohen
Outreach & Public Programs Manager
The Children's Museum

"The internet is not a thing you can just put stuff into, like a truck.
It's a series of tubes."

From what you've suggested those visitors with creationist perspectives
are aware of and accept a large number of the "bricks" of evolutionary
biology, it is just that they use these to construct a different
"house". This suggests that just giving them more "bricks" will only
lead to a bigger "house", and if we give them a few bricks they don't
like ( such as humans are also part of this system ) they wont use them.
