I guess you haven't run into my kind of creationists :-)..

I've seen them fight the Second Law of Thermodynamics and
take pot shots at Quantum Mechanics, because

1) they don't like that life just rose out of nothing and that
there's a tendency towards disorder. That to them means that
life should not have arisen. Hence thermodynamics is wrong.
Since physics is wrong, so screw science.

2) they don't like the uncertainty and indeterminism in QM because
God determines everything. otherwise he'd not be omnipotent.

IT all depends on how sophisticated they are. They are getting
better.
