One of my closest friends, a reasonably intelligent person with a college education, is a creationist solely (as far as I can tell) because he was raised as one. I'm not sure if he's just too lazy to challenge his own beliefs, and I haven't actually talked to him about this in a long time so maybe he has by now. When we did talk about it, my basic scientific evidence was met with platitudes and the word 'faith'. I don't particularly care what he thinks and those sorts of conversations are a waste of time, so I dropped it pretty quickly. The real crime is that parents begin their children on religion at the same age they begin them on fairy tales. That should tell us something.
