Answer:

Creationists believe that a god created everything in the universe, including all life. Typically they don't believe in evolution; they believe that their deity created every species exactly how it's supposed to be and they don't need to change. They believe that everything in nature happens for a planned reason.

Naturalists believe that everything in the universe happens by chance. They believe in theories like the Big Bang Theory, which states that the universe itself was created by chance. They also believe in evolution - that every species adapts to its surroundings and evolves more desirable traits. Naturalists believe that the first life happened due to the correct conditions coming together by chance to create unicellular organisms, which eventually reproduced, mutated, and evolved into the millions of specialized species that exist on earth now.
