The mammoth is estimated to be 10,000 years old but creationists claim the earth was created by God less than 10,000 years ago.
There are also fossils all over the world and paintings in Australia which seem to indicate homosapien existed on that continent up to 60,000 years ago.

Subnote: for those saying 'God did it' and such could you please be more descriptive by providing the reasons? I only ask because creationists seem all too happy to quote God's rationale behind most things, so why not this? If creationists want people to believe God did it then they must have a reason. Did God leave a clue in the bible that there would be tests like this? If so where is it?

Even better than the mamoth what about the other cultures recording history before the bible says the earth was created. Yes these other cultures also seem to have missed that global flood. they just kept on living and recording history.
Edit Wunderin show me anywhere, any scientist who says carbon dating is only accurate 5000 years back.

Oh, I thought you were going to cite a science network. Thanks for the laugh. I don't care if the History Channel ever proved something that I believed in. Since they started talking up the 2012 thing, I've stopped watching their "science". We're talking about the network that tries to prove that Bigfoot, flying humanoids, and UFO's exist. C'mon. I seriously doubt there were gold mines 150,000 years ago. They probably saw a cave and found some gold and thought "hey, it's a gold mine". By the way, if the findings were true, they'd actually throw off our knowledge of humans. Most scientists don't believe that humans were sophisticated enough to make gold mines 10,000 years ago, much less 150,000 years ago. A scientific Atheist would question that number.

There are two kinds of creationists: Old Earth, and young Earth. Perhaps the question should be re-addressed to YOUNG Earth creationists.
I am an old Earth creationist, therefore this doesn't surprise me. And I thought they estimated the mammoth to have been buried for up to 40,000 years? It's fascinating.

well obviously these are all tricks by god to test people's faith
obviously there couldn't be another rational provable explaination for it! and if you say differently you'll burn in hell! haha
one thing that really makes me laugh with things like creationism is that they take it literally.
That God was riding round on a white cloud snapping his fingers bringing things into exsistance. I'm not sure what all "creationist's" views are on evoultion, but would it not make more sense to attribute that to a god?

Discovery of baby mammoth, great...cloning, whatever..God, be with us, because people, do you realize that we've unearthed a baby mammoth?! This means that the ice caps that were meant to be frozen that keeps our planet "in balance" is melting, turning our world into what could become the next ice age. Forget unearthing baby mammoths. Thousands of years from now they'll be unearthing...us!!!

come on man! dont you know u're being tested? all those so called fossiles were put there to test your faith without letting the facts confuse you! if god created the earth in 6 days he bloody well could have created things that look like fossiles.
simple logic.

They just say that the Earth was created to appear older than it really is.

Carbon dating is only reliable back to 5000 years, so there really is no way to estiate the age of anything older than that. I'm christian, and I believe that dinosaurs and mammoths and sabre-tooth tigers lived at the same time. You see dinosaur footprints next to human ones in colorado. The bible speaks of the GREAT lizard. I believe that mammoths were elephant ancestors, but due to ADAPTATION their size decreased. How exactly do those paintings indicate 600000 years? I'm a creationist, and I know it's futile to argue with scientists who just can't admit they don't know.
