Anybody can "think" facts like 2+2=4, or draw conclusions from a series of factual statements. But creativity is the ability to take facts and use them to create something fictional. For example, Dan Brown did with his "The Da Vinci Code." The ideas of an "Illuminati" or that Christ wasn’t all that the Bible made him out to be is nothing new. Athiests claim it all the time. Brown just popularized it in a work of fiction.

The Webster’s definition of creativity is to cause to exist; bring into being. In the artistic sense, it’s to produce through artistic or imaginative effort.
The Webster’s definition of thinking is to have or formulate in the mind; to decide by reasoning, reflection, or pondering.
The difference between being creative and thinking is that you bring something into being when you are being creative and when you are thinking you are pondering something.
If this doesn’t answer you question then I’m sorry. Please be more specific next time.
