I can hear the crickets
I can't help but notice that no anti-evolution folk have made an attempt to address this most excellent post.
​
I wonder why that is?

"Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends! Well I say there are some things we don't want to know! Important things!"
- Ned Flanders

"Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear." - Thomas Jefferson

I may be wrong here, but didn't creationism exist prior to the establishment of evolutionary theory as a part of science?

It depends what you mean by "creationism."
​
"Creation Science" is 20th century, made in the USA, while "creationism" (with a small 'c') has been around for millenia.
