Until recent centuries it has been the belief of Christians that God created the Earth, the heavens and all creatures on Earth including Man. Scientific thought in the last two or three hundred years has gradually worked its way to what we now consider the truth. Creationists are those who ignore the overwhelming evidence; the 'Creationist' movement has been prominent in the last couple of decades.

How many types of Creationists are there?
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

How long do creationists think the universe has existed?
There are multiple different types of creationists, depending on their beliefs. Young Earth Creationists tend to believe the universe is less than 10,000years old due to biblical records (the ages of the descendants from Noah onwards are given, and were used to estimate the time since creation). Note that this age is not supported by science which has dated the age of the universe to be 13.72 billion years old.
What scientific evidence do young earth creationists use to oppose the argument that the world and universe is young?
None, since young earth creation scientists, by definition, believe the world and universe to be young, they do not oppose but promote the large body of evidence which supports this.
