Creationism is a metaphysical claim and is unlike the other two example you provide. One can point to isotope measurements, fossil records, etc. and still not make a dent in the final argument, which is "God made it that way". It may seem preposterous that God would make extensive fossil records, but that opinion isn't a scientific one but a philosophical or theological one.
