I'd go further. I'd say that because creationism tries to argue supernatural intervention in nature, it is ipso facto an unscientific hypothesis.
The "how" does not necessarily need to be answered fully. But what they can't do is to form their belief in a testable form. Also most creationists do not believe that their God can lie. That does limit them in their approach since a lying God could have simply planted false evidence and that would be a purely unscientific hypothesis. What they could try to do is to explain the observable evidence assuming using a model where God created life. And they cannot even do that. As a result they have to deny the existence of evidence for evolution since they know that they have no explanation. They not only need a God that is continually creating new life forms. They need an incompetent God whose life always looks as if it had the drawbacks that come with an evolved life from.
