Michael White at the Science 2.0 website succinctly summarizes the tactics of creationists in this case:
This is yet another one of those instances in which creationists try to have it both ways: creationism is religion when it's convenient accuse people of religious discrimination, and it's science when they're trying to get it into the public school curriculum.

Good for the Supreme Court. Creationism is more than just bad biology, if you follow its ramifications all the way through you end up have to toss chemistry, physics, geology, and astronomy into the rubbish bin and substitute its "Christian" equivalent. For the young earth concept you also have to invent Christian quantum mechanics to explain the light from the stars.
In my unlearned opinion the Creationists create a very fragile theology with a very weak God at its center.
Yogi: On this you are very learned.
