We believe the earth is 6000-10000 years old.
We believe there was a Global Flood 4500 years ago and Noah’s Ark saved two animals of every kind.
We believe we were created and that we didn’t evolve.
We believe that the geologic stratums were ALL formed in the Great Flood. And that the “less evolved” life forms are at the bottom of the stratum because they ran slower or they didn’t float as well as the more “evolved” life forms we see today which are found at the top of the geologic column.
We believe that dinosaurs from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous geologic periods lived with people 6000 years ago along with all the other species that existed in tens of other geologic period (Precambrian, Devonian, Silurian etc). This means there were literally hundreds of billions of different species co-existing before the Flood killed most of them off.
This is the last one. Sorry but we Young Earth creationists believe A LOT!
So do you understand now, evolutionists? Stop criticizing!

We are not criticizing YOU. We simply feel you need to know the truth, proven facts.
How do explain a skeleton that is 3 mil years old in Africa?
Do you think T-Rex and people could really live together?
How do you know there was a great flood? Were you told that or are you checking the records of this?
You mention 6000 years ago but T-Rex was here thousands of years before.
You say you believe a lot, but where is your information coming from? Is it scientific, or is it based on the facts of faith?
If you were created from someone else what color would there/your skin be, hair color, stature and development come from? It seems we have many different - viewable explanation's in science. People from the Med area do not have pretty white colored skin, with light brown hair and blue eyes. I would think that to be noticeable. Yet the pictures of your savior depict that look. Do you not wonder, at least a little?

Um, the problem with your statement is that you seem to be assuming that if we understand your beliefs, we'll either A agree with you or B stop criticising your beliefs.
The flaw with that reasoning is on 2 fronts. #1. YE/creationists do not all believe the same things, for instance, some believe the dinosaur bones were placed on Earth by Satan to deceive mankind and weaken faith. #2. It's because we Do understand your beliefs that we criticise them.
Not many people criticise ancient Egyptian or Greek beliefs. Know why? Because people don't believe that anymore (at least, so few as to be virtually non existant).
And we fully recognize that you believe, as you quaintly put it, "A LOT." Sadly, the entire lot of it is based on "because the Bible said so" instead of actual reasoning.
There is the source of your criticism.
Now, if you want people to stop criticising, try adopting a belief system based purely on logical thought.

Take the low end of your estimate, say 200 billion species, and the very low end, say 2 of each species is 400 billion biological entities or 784 per square kilometer of earths ENTIRE surface, including water. I dare say I don't know how all these could eat, let alone live together.
Old earth creationist.

It is trivially easy to show thiat such a belief is silly. The annual layers of the Antarctic ice cap go back millions of years; a flood would have destroyed them. It requires nothing more to see this than a shovel and the ability to count. For much more on this, see:

No offense meant, but your explanation of creationism begs criticism.
To me, it seems that illogic, pseudo-science and criticism make good bedfellows.
