Old Earth creationists agree with evolutionists about the meaning of the fossil record.  

Old Earth creationists agree with evolutionists that the fossil record indicates the appearance and disappearance of living things over time.

It is only Young Earth creationists who deny the authenticity of the fossil record, mainly on Biblical grounds. The earth is less than 10,000 years old, so the fossils must also be less than 10,000 years old.

Young Earth creationists see the vast majority of the rock layers as a sequence that was laid down during the [[Flood geology|Genesis Flood]].

They argue on biblical grounds that the earth is less than 10,000 years old (usually arguing for around 6,000 years old), and that the fossils in flood-laid sediments must also be around 4,300 years old.
