In every college science class I've had so far, the professors have explained that science is based on the progression of ideas from one to the next, and whereas the "truth" of evolutionism is constantly evolving (new hypotheses being made about the mechanisms of evolution), creation "science" is not refined to fit the data, in fact, the exact opposite is true. the data of creation scientists is refined to fit the claim. there are some aspects of the scientific method that are present, but as a science, creationism is fundamentally flawed.

Not to be too picky, but there's no such thing as evolutionism, nor is there gravitism etc...
But you're right, Creationism is flawed as a science because to start off with, they don't follow the scientific methods. Infact, I remember a certain Creationist research group whom have sworn an oath that no matter what their research result comes up with, they will always support creationism...oh good science there

Most creationists don't even bother to learn the science before they attack the theory, they're not confused, just uneducated at most times and their only input has been brainwashing from their churches that an ancient book's word is absolute, despite what we can "see" with our eyes.
For the creationists whom do know biology, or claim to know the science, they're showing ignorance of the greatest proportions, there is too much evidence correlating with evolution for a true scientist to ignore and then try to refute. Insanity doesn't come near to the word of what can describe their behaviour, it's too tame fitting.
