Are there any creationists who aren't religious?

I'll admit, I wasn't sure if this was a good place to ask this question, but I couldn't think of another category. But I was just curious.

Are there any who truly believe that we have a creator other than God?

Sorry to burst your bubble there blondie 8591, but Darwins supposed "deathbed confession" never happened.

"Darwin himself was disturbed with the misuses "Social Darwinism" made of his theories. He thought that Christianity was good for common people, though not for himself and other educated men. Darwin was revising his theories in the latter part of his life, to take new information into account, though he did not doubt that evolution had occurred, only how it had happened. Lady Hope probably heard all of this in a visit to Darwin late in his life, and conflated it imaginatively into a deathbed recantation!"

Yes.

Raelians believe that supernatural extraterrestrials genetically engineered human beings.

Also, when I was not particularly "religious" or affiliating with a religion, I believed in a creation by a supernatural being. I was not religious or belonging to a particular religion, yet I was still a creationist in a sense, so the claim that there are no such things as unreligious creationist is pure hogwash.

I know personally of one pagan, two Muslims and one non religious person that don't believe in evolution, the Big Bang etc. The Pagan and the Muslims go with various creation stories, the atheist is a believer that aliens started it all. I am not sure where the aliens started. I am a Christian and I am not a creationist.

Well, although this is highly disputed - it has been written of by visitors to his household at the end of his life, Darwin not only admitted that he didn't believe his theory was true but admitted that he thought that the world itself proved God's existence.

He is quoted as saying:

“I was a young man with uninformed ideas. I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything; and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire. People made a religion of them.”

There was a time before evolutionary theory was widespread when some philosophers were atheist, so presumably they had their own ideas about the origin of life, but i don't know what they were.

I believe in God, but I am not religious. I believe in Creation, because it makes sense.
