Creationism is a broad church. The one thing that is common to all creationists is that they believe that the all the manifestations in the Universe proceeded from an Ultimate Cause and Ultimate Reality. In other words, they all believe in the Principle of Causality - which is absolutely necessary for all science. But which I gather many atheists now reject.
