Does Anyone Really Know What Agnostics Believe Or Don't Believe About The Creation Of The Universe?
Everyone has opinions and proof or beliefs about the creation and the Creator. Bible believers and certain other religions of the world have a definite belief with they proof or faith, but where do agnostics and atheists fit? Are they the same actually?

You've asked two questions in one question. Agnostics beliefs are a little different than the atheists. Agnostics are those people who believe that there is no God but they don't deny the possibility of existence of God.
And atheists are those who don't believe in the existence of God or gods.

Thank you. I have never heard such a succint answer.
Agnostics neither endorse the fact there is a God nor do they deny it. Atheists simply do not believe in any type of God or higher power. That makes a great difference between the two. That would make Atheists Evolutionists and Agnostics sitting at the middle of the fence.

As an Agnostic, I have to say that I don't know what the deal is. I believe in improving our environment, with people coming first. Common sense has taught me to respect others. I believe if we think that nothing matters, we live an empty existence.

Forget about the technical terms and definitions, Agnostics are those who don't believe in religion but believe in a supreme being, if it's either a entity or mother nature or science.

At it's most basic level an atheist is anyone who does not have a belief in any god. (Atheist literally means 'not a theist') To believe something means to positively assert something and have confidence in its truth.
Atheism at its most basic level is not a positive assertion. Atheists lack a belief. Some atheists believe that god does not exist, but this is not necessary in the definition.
Everyone is either a theist (believes in a god) or an atheist (does not believe in a god). If one truly does not know how they feel, that means that they can't claim to believe and are therefore atheist. Agnostics generally fall under the umbrella of atheist since they don't positively assert a believe in god (the very definition of atheism).
I admit that common usage and technical correctness are often at odds, but what I've written above is technically correct. Some agnostics avoid the term atheism because they think it means an active rejection of the possibility of god. This is not true.
Another way this issue has been dealt with is to differentiate between 'week' atheism and 'strong' atheism. Week atheism would be simple lack of belief like that of an agnostic or anyone who's never been introduced to the concept of god (like a young child). Strong atheism would be active rejection with claims of certainty.
