You overlook the fact that they used the scientific method to do those things. You know the same scientific method that current gen creations ignore / hate with a passion.
And you ignore the fact that it was biblical creationists who invented the scientific method, which was used for centuries by scientists who were almost all creationists.
There is nothing "evolutionary" about the scientific method. On the contrary, to believe in natural law (necessary to use the scientific method) you must believe in a Lawgiver over nature. It is Darwinian fundamentalists who rely on a creationary foundation to do science, not the other way around. Naturalistic evolutionists have no explanation for the presence of laws in nature when they deny the Lawgiver.
Childishly imputing a 'hatred' of science, evidence, or the methodology of science to creationists is just an act of wishful thinking among the dinosaurs known as Darwinists.
What scientific method that creationists hate? Is there more than one, the one that the creationist Newton developed?
