Young Earth creationists - those who literally believe that the Earth is only a few thousand years old and that there was a great, world-wide flood - have great difficulty because of the geological evidence to the contrary. The most widespread Young Earth creationist response is to claim that the geological evidence is either wrong, misunderstood or falsified. On the evidence, Young Earth creationists do not understand the geological time chart, and certainly do not use it in any constructive sense.

∙ 9y agoThat causes many to come to a 'wall' in their understanding of biblical teachings. Few realize The Bible is only speaking of the 'renewal' of the Earth in the Genesis account and does not address the what, when, or why of any previous creatures. Therefore, most will discount the chart as some less than important piece of data.

Creationists can be styled as "Young Earth" Creationists and "Old Earth Creationists".Young Earth Creationists believe that the world is literally only about 6,000 years old, based on a literal reading of the biblical Book of Genesis. They believe that species have not evolved, but were created much as we know them today.Old Earth Creationists accept the scientific evidence that the world is immensely old, but say that evolution, if it occurred at all, was guided by "Intelligent Design".Another way of categorising some Creationists is as either Cosmic Creationists, who see intelligent design because the laws of the universe are exactly what suits the evolution of human life, or Biological Creationists, who say that the universe is so uncongenial to life that life could not have evolved naturally.For more information on creationism and other views on our origin, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation

The published opinions of Young-Earth Creationists focus mainly on terrestrial geological events, which they claim to have occurred in an impossibly short period. In the face of scientific evidence to the contrary, they claim that the physical evidence, even the half-lives of radioactive elements, were fundamentally upset by the supposed biblical Flood. As for extra-terrestrial events, most Young-Earth Creationists would not believe that these events really happened or claim that there is an, as yet undiscovered, explanation.
