That sounds real good and doubtless many scientists do just as you say, but the field of evolution and abiogenesis specificially excludes the possibility of a creator so the data is never revised in that direction regardless of the evidence.

No, evolution and abiogenesis make no statements regarding the existence of any creators. The word "creator" does not appear anywhere in the theory of evolution or in any abiogenesis hypothesis. Evolution is a theory relating to a process in biological organisms and abiogenesis is the concept of "life" forming via some process from "nonliving" organic components. Neither idea exclude the possibility of a creator doing anything beforehand.

Evolution means the creator is nature.

Surely you have read scripture from one of their prophets. Darwin maybe? If not, you can find their bible in many text books in our schools.

That is exactly my point. The possibility is not even considered. If intelligent design stared them in the face they are not "allowed" to recognize the possibility. This may be scientific but it is hardly an objective treatment of the dispute.
