The biggest difference? Science can be proven wrong. Science changes it mind when new data conflicts with old. Faith can't be proven wrong. Faith doesn't change.
They're not the same. Shouldn't try to be. Faith is the assumption that a creative sentient force drives creation. Science describes that creation and the creative process. If you beleive in God, the science is a look inside God's toolbox.
Creationism has to deny physical evidence to make its literal claim. Creationists put Christianity is a bad spot -- insisting it literally true while everything we see around us says it's not.
Creationism isn't a "theory" -- there's no evidence to get to a creation theory. It's a belief.
