There are only two ways the earth could have come to be. Either Something, something(s) or someone created it, or it got accidentally made.
Creationism is a belief which states that God created the universe in 6 normal days. The belief uses The Bible as a source of information (evidence).
There are many debates between creationists and evolutionists, but they are both pure faiths. Both sides have evidence, but no proof so they are both still classified as theory or a faith.
I am a Christian myself and I believe that Jesus is my saviour, but I still respect others beliefs and opinions.(:

What is the difference between creationism and evolutionary theory?

What does creationism mean?
According to Wikipedia, Creationism is the religious belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in their original form by a deity (often the Abrahamic God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam) or deities.Initially, Creationism developed as a response by a minority of Christians to the Theory of Evolution. Its advocates attempted to have Creationism taught, in US schools, in science classes as a valid alternative to evolution. The courts blocked this attempt, on the grounds that Creationism is a topic of religion and to teach it in science classes would breach the separation of church and state.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Why is creationism not a theory?
Creationism is not a theory because it's not based on science, which currently uses the 'hypo-deductive reasoning' approach to problems. That is, someone sees a problem/puzzle, you generate a guess for an answer (the hypothesis) then collect data about your question to see if the real world supports your hypothesis. If it does, you refine your first guess to your improved, informed answer called a theory. Creationism is a faith-based answer to questions that others are using Evolution, geology, and other sciences to answer. No one KNOWS the true answer, it depends on whether you trust faith or science. However, right or wrong, creationism isn't a science, so will never be a theory. Answer: Creationism is not a theory (in the common scientific sense) for the same reason that evolution isn't, since a scientific theory must be repeatable, testable and falsifiable. Both are stories about the past which cannot be repeated, and they involve presuppositions involving faith. It is merely a question of which answer best fits the available evidence. i.e. if one is an impartial observer, which is rarely the case.
What is Richard Dawkins' view on Creationism?
Richard Dawkins is the Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, at Oxford University. In this position, he clearly has a sound understanding of scientific issues such as evolution and the creation of the universe. This has led him to believe that Creationism is inherently untrue. Since his role is to advance the public understaning of Science, he has written books such as The God Delusion(Bantam Press, 2006) to explain his views.I think that Professor Dawkins sees Creationism as dependently linked to religious belief. Where he views Creationism to contend with Science, which he asserts is quite often, Dawkins prefers to focus on the inherent failure of the underlying religious belief rather than simply demonstrating the error of the Creationist belief and leaving the proponent to continue in his or her religious beliefs.The debate around creationism and evolution is more fully covered in: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
What are the alternatives to evolution and how do they differ from the theory of evolution?
The main alternatives to evolution are creationism and intelligent design. Creationism posits that a divine creator is responsible for the origin of life and species, while intelligent design suggests that certain features of living organisms are best explained by an intelligent cause rather than natural selection. These alternatives differ from the theory of evolution in that they do not rely on the scientific principles of natural selection and genetic variation to explain the diversity of life on Earth.

What provoked opposition to Darwin's natural selection theory?
Aside from some genuine scientific concern about the mechanism of heritability and the role of genes at about 1900, the greatest opposition to the theory has been religious ideology and social science/humanities misunderstandings about the theory.
