Seems to me that Creationism History is more one of a constant change of views while evolution thinking is one of less and less change (in the view) called "constriction" by Historian Will Provine (on? the view of landscape presented in the 30's at Cornell not in Chicago) while the opposite would be expected niavely but not necessarily prima facie.
The unchanging belief in a particular interpretation of the Protestant Christian Bible is at the core of Scientific Creationism.
"There was a Flood, now we just have to find evidence for it."
"Kinds were created specially and suddenly, now we have to find evidence for this."
"The Earth is a few thousand years old, now we have to find evidence for it".
NEVER will these assumptions about what is "supposed" to be found ever change, because then the paricular interpretation of the Bible would be wrong.
By contrast, Science changes constantly as new information is found, and science does not assume it knows what will be found.
