Can somebody help me get my feet wet?

I find it amusing and a little sad that a student who knows nothing about a topic can hold a view that the conventional science position is false. Do such students learn about, for example, the atomic model, compare it to their biblical readings and reject it if it contradicts their interpretation of some bible verse? Of course such arrogance is the result of their religious beliefs. I wonder why creationist students don't reject mathematics because its value of Pi conflicts with the value derived from the old testament.
