seems a bit pointless to include Creationist beliefs unless they are mocking them
i.e. Here's the Giant's Causeway, it's 60 million years old. Some people think the earth is only 6 thousand years old.

There's a place for the local myth about it being made by giants,
I hope that's mentioned somewhere, too.

I think that's the point.
There should be a scientific explaination and also a section explaining the myths and fairy tales that have been used to explain it. The fairy tales section should include Creationism. With something like, "Even today some people, such as Creationists, choose to believe...."

I think the problem is the wording: I doubt it's prefaced by "Amongst other folk tales, the creationist myth...."
Otherwise the Christian Spokesperson wouldn't sound so smug.
(Totally in favour of mentioning indigenous oral folk history. Decades ago I read up on Irish folk stories, thanks to Brian O'Nolan)
