Well creationists tend to not believe in evolution.
That depends on how you define a Creationist. There's a subspecies that believes in Theistic Evolution and arguably may not be Creationists. Amusingly, they tend to piss off hardcore Creationists by not being Biblically Literal enough/marginally sane. The problem with their particular brand of crazy is that you have to believe in a god who created everything through natural laws, evolved all the species, and ignored a few million years of murder, rape, and general horibbleness before it finally noticed one particular tribe of goat herders. Unto these lucky "Chosen People" it gave a special set of laws about precisely who, how, and when you could murder, rape, and be generally horrible to. It also gave them the only piece of land in the Middle East with no oil. Shortly thereafter it whelped a son so that it could be sacrificed to itself to help with its Anger Management Issues, becoming the only god in all of theology to have its son murdered and offered as a sacrifice to itself that didn't promptly turn the oceans to lava. I don't want to spoil the ending, but suffice it to say that it only gets whackier from there and is widely regarded as a cult classic.
