Richard Dawkins is the Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, at Oxford University. In this position, he clearly has a sound understanding of scientific issues such as evolution and the creation of the universe. This has led him to believe that Creationism is inherently untrue. Since his role is to advance the public understaning of Science, he has written books such as The God Delusion(Bantam Press, 2006) to explain his views.
I think that Professor Dawkins sees Creationism as dependently linked to religious belief. Where he views Creationism to contend with Science, which he asserts is quite often, Dawkins prefers to focus on the inherent failure of the underlying religious belief rather than simply demonstrating the error of the Creationist belief and leaving the proponent to continue in his or her religious beliefs.

Professor C. Richard Dawkins is cited as a zoologist and an ethologist meaning his main expertise is in animals and animal behavior. His main focus appears to revolve around evolutionary theory (What branch of biology doesn't? But, in the case of Dawkins, it is particularly prominent.). No doubt he seeks evolutionary explanations (ultimate explanations) for the wonderful and extraordinary and diverse behaviors of animals.
An example of Creationism is the view that living things are vastly too complex to have arisen by random mutations. See also:Is there evidence for Creation?Can you show that God exists?Seeing God's wisdom
Creationism is the belief that the account of the origin of things given in the Bible is the exact and literal truth.
This debate has been going on for a long time: Some people believe that we were made by a higher being, others believe that we evolved from primates. It depends on what your perspective (view) is.
Creationism, as a belief, a philosophy and a mindset, would be defined as an abstract noun; creationism as an event or a process would be a concrete noun. Nouns have no opposites; you cannot get "negative-creation" in the same way as you can get 1 and -1.
