I believe it is 6000, not 10000, and because they dont bother to think for themselves and never question their beliefs. Regarding: "..because they dont bother to think for themselves and never question their beliefs."
Since many creationists have PhD's awarded in secular institutions, it would be difficult to find a way of supporting the above assertion. Creationists also have a number of peer-reviewed journals, as well as having published scientific papers in non-creationist secular scientific journals. Some of them are world leaders in their field. On a number of occasions creationists have modified their approach or withdrawn arguments found to be unsupported by rigorous science.
It is possible that, since many people are not familiar with the work of creation scientists, they are ready to believe whatever anti-creationists say. However, to say people don't think for themselves and never question their beliefs, is another thing from it actually being so. The actual facts are otherwise, even if one disagrees with creation science and its conclusions. Creationists take The Bible as their starting point in terms of presuppositions. The historical record of the Bible makes the earth from 6-10000 years old (as a maximum). They have found much scientific evidence to support the Biblical date.
It may be necessary to point out that all scientists have presuppositions which guide them. No science is done in a vacuum. Evolutionists presume long ages and fit everything into this paradigm, and reject all the evidence against it.
Creationists are simply beginning their work from a different basis. Under the creationist paradigm there is much supportive scientific evidence which evolutionists ignore. Much of this evidence comes from research conducted by evolutionists themselves and so no accusation of bias can apply to these (although of course there is the evolutionary bias).

I think they lived (the dinosaurs) for approximately 165 million years.
This means Jupiter takes precisely twelve Earth years to orbit the sun.
About 88 Earth days, that's about 0.24 Earth years.
Views About the Age of the EarthOld Earth ViewCurrent estimates are between 4.5 and 4.6 billion years. Methods used to find the age of the earth involve radiometric dating of meteorite samples, which would have formed at the same time as the earth. The oldest rock samples, zirconium oxides, were discovered in situ and then analyzed to an accuracy of a few million years. These samples yield an age of something on the order of 3.9 billion years or so. But the earth "recycles" rock, and we have to look around a bit to find "old" rock. That is why we cannot place the age of the earth with native material.No matter how old the earth is, it is clear from the geological column that fossils are laid down in sequence, with the most recent fossils above the earliest ones. Any method that established a minimum age for the most recent fossils would at least provide a minimum age for the earth. Early in the 19th century, Charles Lyell examined the Etna volcano on Sicily and studied the historical records of frequent eruptions. He noticed that each time it erupted, a new layer of lava would be added, causing the mountain to grow at a measurable rate. By knowing the height of the volcano, its approximate rate of growth and the frequency of eruptions, Lyall determined that the volcano must be several hundred thousand years old. At the edge of the volcano, under the first lava flows, he found fossil shells that were virtually identical to the shells of molluscs still found in the Mediterranean Sea. From this, he deduced that the fossils were geologically recent, that a hundred thousand years was geologically short, and that the age of the earth must be immense.Even many creationists now accept the evidence for the immense age of the Earth. No longer do all creationists follow the Bible literally, instead we now have the traditional "Young-Earth" creationists and the "Old-Earth" creationists who largely accept that the Earth really is around 4.5 billion years old.Use the link to the related question on how scientists can date rock using radiometry.Another argument for Old EarthUnfortunately, the age cannot be computed directly from material that is solely from the Earth. There is evidence that energy from the Earth's accumulation caused the surface to be molten. Further, the processes of erosion and crustal recycling have apparently destroyed all of the earliest surface. The oldest rocks which have been found so far (on the Earth) date to about 3.8 to 3.9 billion years ago (by several radiometric dating methods). Some of these rocks are sedimentary, and include minerals which are themselves as old as 4.1 to 4.2 billion years. Rocks of this age are relatively rare, however rocks that are at least 3.5 billion years in age have been found on North America, Greenland, Australia, Africa, and Asia.While these values do not compute an age for the Earth, they do establish a lower limit (the Earth must be at least as old as any formation on it). This lower limit is at least concordant with the independently derived figure of 4.55 billion years for the Earth's actual age.Young Earth ViewThere is a great deal of scientific evidence which suggests that the earth is nowhere near the ages claimed. Most of this evidence comes through the work of researchers who do not believe in the Bible account of creation. The evidence would allow the Bible chronology with a relatively recent creation around 6000 years ago to be correct. AnswerNo one knows for sure but many people think they know how old earth is. The evolutionist would say the earth is millions of years old. Dr. Kent Hovind thinks the earth is 6000 or 7000 years old. He said it's that old because if you add up all the ages of the people in the Bible it comes to that long. He made a chart of how old each person was and how old the earth was. There are lots of theories on how old is the earth but no one has time machine to go back in time. But they also found problems with the theory if the earth is millions of years old. [As an informational but relevant note, Kent Hovind holds no degrees from any accredited institution. (He is not a "Doctor" of anything.) And at this writing, he is currently housed in Federal prison. A link is provided for factual data.]No one knows for sure...there is no way for us to know for sure how old the Earth is. Just the simple fact that we have so many different answers to this equation demonstrates this point. The measurements are based largely on assumptions. A millennium ago, we assumed the earth was the center of the universe. Several centuries ago, we assumed the earth was flat. Just before last century, we assumed man could not fly. Today, we assume that our methods of measurement are constant, and therefore reliable. For now, we cannot be sure. Who knows? Maybe soon the next Galileo, Columbus, or even the next Wright Brothers will show up, giving us the magical constant that will give each of these equations the same, and correct, answer.
Creationists often believe that the earth is around 6,000 to 10,000 years old, based on a literal interpretation of the Bible. This belief is in contrast to the scientific consensus, which holds that the earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old.
The majority of Modern Egyptians are Islamic Creationists who believe the world is between 6000-9000 years old.

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 Holocene epoch.
Approximately 6,000 years old based on Biblical genealogies, and no more than 10,000 years old.
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.
