ultimate authority
Embracing of Creationism is not a rejection of science (you can't reject that which you do not know) it is a rejection of authority.
In fact, it's the opposite. Creationism embraces the ultimate authority -- the Bible. As interpreted by ministers who are themselves figures of authority.
You suggest creationism is some kind of good old American rebellion against the establishment (accepted science).
There is a truth there, in that fundamentalist ministers often try to sell it that way to their flocks.
