Data collection goes back much further than that.
Science is a sub-branch of philosophy, it's origin came about not long after recorded human history starts. It was suppressed by religious people for a long time.
Carbon dating is interesting. Perhaps God used old carbon to create the physical universe. The passage of time is a non-issue for creationists. The Bible says "one thousands years is like a day, and a day like one thousand years" from God's perspective. It says God create the world in seven days. That could have been seven thousand years. It does not say how long ago the world was created. People try to figure that out based on the genealogies of the bible. Many say 4000 years ago. Could have been 7000 years ago.
He tossed in some very old fish fossils, just to help the devil deceive people into believing bullshit like cross species evolution. He has to separate the wheat from the chaff somehow.
