Ignorance can be cured by education.
Most creationists reject education.
The ones that don't become atheists.
Then, you have stupidity, which can't be cured at all.
So: stupidity and rejection of education is the reason why there are still creationists in the 21st century.
"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
