How do creationists - who believe in a universal flood and in a young age for the earth - understand and use the geological time chart?
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.

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

Creationists believe that the origin of species is "God created all the different animals and races of humans in their separate areas and and they have never changed."

The most famous of these are Hugh Ross and Glenn Morton. Young Earth Creationists believe that the world is 6-10,000 years old and all the proof there is contrary to their opinion is fabricated evidence based on false science.

Do creationists believe in dinosaurs?
You don't have to "believe" in dinosaurs. There is evidence of their existence in the fossil record, unlike god. You can believe in god and deny that dinosaurs existed by citing the Genesis story in the bible, but the evidence for their existence is compelling. You can believe in god and in dinosaurs if you accept that the Genesis story is metaphorical rather than literal history.
What do creationists believe in?
The views of creationists vary, so I will give you a very general set of beliefs.Creationists generally believe:- God created everything in present form. Evolution is not true.- The earth is 6,000 to 10,000 years old.- The complexity of DNA proves that everything was designed by God.- There was a global flood.- Dinosaurs and humans coexisted.Hopefully you get the picture by now. Obviously, science completely contradicts creationism. Evolution is very much true.AnswerTo find out what creationists believe in, I suggest you google : (1) "Answers in Genesis" to see what creationists believe, and then(2) "Evolution vs Creation" or something similar to see what scientists say and whether evolution is at all possible or not.Then make up your own mind. [Look up the definition of a religion and you will see that evolution is also a religion].
What percentage of the world are creationists?
I don't think that you could accurately determine the percentage. There are those that believe in creation and those that believe in evolution. A large part of those that say they believe in creation also believe in evolution to some degree. If you are taking a count of who believes what, put me down for creation with no evolution.
