This word is really quite useless when you think about it.

If the living things (creatures) had not been created, they wouldn't be here would they? I mean, whatever you believe about creationism, the creatures had to be created via some form of production, right? So then, creatures fits the description.
Webster's definition reads as follows: crea·ture (krecher) n.
Something created. A living being, especially an animal: land creatures; microscopic creatures in a drop of water.
A human. An imaginary or fantastical being: mythological creatures; a creature from outer space. One dependent on or subservient to another.

Hmm... Were you also aware that the word "NICE" originally meant "stupid, foolish"? Words have a way of transforming in English. It's really among the most dynamic languages. And if we have come to think of living things as creatures because at one point we considered all life created by a deity, then it doesn't mean when we give up the deity we are bound by some rule to give up the word.
However, if you wish to transform it further you can use the term I grew up with in Tennessee: Critter.

And creations require a Creator.The Bible says that all nature points to the glory of God. To think that all this varied, orderly, highly specific life found on just planet Earth alone is some accidental explosion of chaos into order? That is as logical as taking all the components to a stereo , putting them into the dryer, and then out will come a whole, fully functioning stereo. And that only begins to hint at the ill logic behind denying that there is a loving God that established all life and set just the right amount of spin onto our little planet!

The same applies to universe... single spoken sentence. As you reference to the word being useless... no.

Good point.
Plus have you ever thought about people who say Hell is going to be a party?
The definition of hell is anything but a party. They do not even know the definition. A place of torment!

They are here, aren't they? Do you suppose they appeared by spontaneous generation? Then again ... if they did, that would simply explain how they were created, wouldn't it?

Absoluely! It is a pretty potent word.
