That creation scientists are less than evolutionist scientists somehow in understanding things scientific. Both sides have their extreamists who through out some of the most goofy sounding theories, so you cannot say that only creationists do that. Maybe it is just some people are afraid of dealing with God, that if neither creationism or evolution can be totally proven, but creationism overall makes more sense or fits the facts better without putting square pegs into round holes as much as evolution, than a person might have to take a different view of the bible and God, which looking around today most people are not interested in doing.
Sorry, but you can't take "god" out of creationism since that is the entire reasoning behind it, and would be the first thing the proponents of creationism would say regarding it.

Evolution is a fact, not a theory, since we have the fossil record to prove it. We see how plants, animals, and the planet as well have evolved and have explainations for natural phenomena which ancient peoples did not. Creationists believe the earth is only 6000 years old, and the fossil record shows dinosaurs existing millions of years ago, and going extinct in some great cataclysm millions of years ago, since all living dinosaurs died simultaneously due to this natural disaster, most likely an asteroid hitting the earth.

Creationists believe dinosarus and people roamed the earth together, which is nothing more than a fantasy based on belief and not the existing proof of the fossil record.

Apart from all of this is the assumption that Creationism should be given any credibility at all. It shouldn't. It's just another religous belief based in nothing more than a man-created assertion that it happend that way, nothing more, as much as the nonsense in Islamic culture about meeting 72 virgins on some plane of existence after death.
