"there is data pro and con for naturalistic evolution"
You don't know what you're talking about. Evolution has been accepted by biologists as fact for more than a century. Today there are countless thousands of powerful evidences for evolution from DNA sequencing and other branches of science. Evolution has become the strongest fact of science. You should educate yourself about evolution instead of lying about it.
"the many scientists who also believe in creationism"
Science deniers are not scientists. Also, scientists do not invoke supernatural magic to explain the natural world. And that's what your childish creationism fantasy really is, a belief in magic.
This quote from a famous paleontologist was written back when magical creationism was called "creation science" even though there is nothing scientific about magic.
"Creation science has not entered the curriculum for a reason so simple and so basic that we often forget to mention it: because it is false, and because good teachers understand why it is false. What could be more destructive of that most fragile yet most precious commodity in our entire intellectual heritage—good teaching—than a bill forcing our honorable teachers to sully their sacred trust by granting equal treatment to a doctrine not only known to be false, but calculated to undermine any general understanding of science as an enterprise?"
-- Stephen Jay Gould
Another reason magical creationism is not taught in public schools is because teaching anti-science nonsense is child abuse. Another reason is it would violate the Establishment Clause of our Bill of Rights - we can't be sticking moronic religous fantasies into public schools.

"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
