Henri Poincaré, the great French philosopher (1902), "Science is built up with facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house".
So I guess it's a case of "let he who is without a constructive framework cast the first stone"

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."

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.
