"Creationism" is more theology than science, and it is—in my professional opinion BAD THEOLOGY.

faith
religion: a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny; "he lost his faith but not his morality"
Aceptance of ideals, beliefs, etc., which are not necessarily demonstrable through experimentation or reason.

I think most of the theists here are having a tough time trying to get ahold of what you speak. A supposed Christian who believes in a God...yet knows theres no legitmate explanation for the vast majority of theist principles...other than faith.

A Deist perhaps?
