I think it's a mistake to assume that people who are head-slappingly WRONG must necessarily be dumb. Creationists -- like all ideologues -- can be quite intelligent people. However, they allow what they believe to trump what they know. One sees it in other areas -- benignly in things like sports-team fandom, less benignly in politics. But it's quite possible to be horrifyingly wrong and still be quite intelligent.
