Creationism is the Biblical belief the God created the worlds and all that are in them in six days, about 6000 yrs ago.
Evolutionism stems from Charles Darwin's theory of the Origin of the Species that all life on earth slowly evolved over millions of years from one common ancestor.
Another viewCreationism is the pseudoscience based on a belief that a deity created all of current existence, either approximately 6000 years ago ("young earth" creationism) or on a timescale agreeing with modern science ("old earth" creationism), most commonly according to the Biblical Genesis story(/ies).
Evolution is, quite simply, not based on belief. It is based on evidence and facts, and belief never plays a part in it.
According to the theory of Evolution, life developed by random processes, especially mutations.
The narrative of Divine Creation, which is contained in Genesis ch.1 and 2, states that God created the universe. This teaches us that God exists, that our lives and the world are not random, and that the created things may be assumed to contain vast wisdom in their beautiful and purposeful design. (In recent decades, this wisdom has indeed been partially revealed, through increasingly powerful microscopes.)Evolution through random mutations, on the other hand, may be understood as implying that life is an accident, that perceived beauty and wisdom are ultimately purposeless, and that our instinctive yearning for the Eternal is just an electrical impulse in our brain.

reconciliation of Creation with Evolution is the view of Old-Earth Creationism, which holds that God made the universe and then guided Evolution over long epochs.In repudiation of Evolution, however, Young-Earth Creationism holds that God created the universe and living things relatively recently without the use of Evolution.See also:Is there evidence for Creation?Can you show that God exists?Seeing God's wisdom
The important issue is that the Question does not ask about the impact of evolution, but the impact of evolutionism. "Evolutionism" is defined as the belief that evolution explains the origin of species.The body of science relating to evolution should not be considered "evolutionism", since the term suggests belief, rather than knowledge and scientific theory. Nevertheless, creationists tend to use the term to suggest that the Theory of Evolution and creationism should be treated as equal concepts.Arguably, since the term "evolutionism" is mainly used by creationists, it is creationists themselves who are mainly impacted by evolutionism.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Franz Boas was a widely renowned anthropologist. He was not involved with evolutionism.
Evolution is a scientific theory explaining the diversity of modern life. The various forms of creationism are religious beliefs, usually inspired by ancient myths captured in religious scriptures.
I forgot where I read this, but I read somewhere that Jainism supports neither Creationism nor Evolutionism. Rather, they believe that the human species and all other species have always been here in their present form.

Minor adaptations and changes, as can be observed in living things today, are of course not denied or disproved by Creationism. What Creationism does deny is the notion that Evolution could bring about new species or even new organs.See also:Is there evidence against Evolution?Can you show that God exists?Seeing God's wisdom
Science and religion are not opposites, the terms have many parts of themselves that oppose eachother. For science, there is creationism and evolutionism, creationism is the scientific theory that the universe was made by an anti-matter life form called a god, due to contemporarily unknown powers that made the energy to make matter. Evolutionism supports the big bang theory, an atomic meltdown that formed matter from the traces of the explosion. For religion, faith is found mostly all of them, if not, then you're an atheist. Don't feel down if people say atheism is rare, they just have so much belief in their core, along with the ones around them, that they're blinded towards the ones that want sense in what goes on in life.
I would capitalize it, simply because it is a proper noun. This basically means there are not several "creationisms", but one (though there can be variations on the basic beliefs).
Technically, there is no such thing as scientific creationism. Creationism is per definition un- or even anti-scientific.
