:::You are perhaps confusing "creationism" with Young Earth Creationism. Evolutionists often right as if they were unaware of the distinction between young earth and old earth beliefs. So I'll spell it out for you.

:::Young earth creationists limit the maximum age of the [[Earth]] to around 10,000 years, based on their faith in the [[Old Testament]]. Old Earth creationists generally accept the conclusion of geologists (and mainstream biologists) that the Earth is over 1 billion years old - and thus that [[fossils]] provide an accurate historical record of when the various species of life came into being (and sometimes went extinct, like dinosaurs).
