Young Earth creationism (YEC) is the religious belief that the Universe, Earth, and all life on Earth were created by direct acts of the Abrahamic God during a relatively short period, sometime between 5,700 and 10,000 years ago. Its primary adherents are those Christians and Jews who believe that God created the Earth in six 24-hour days, using a literal interpretation of the Genesis creation narrative as a basis.

With my version of Occam's Ramp (dynamic version of Razor), it would take many magnitudes of energy our present knowledge of Astrophysics knows what the Universe contains to have directly assemble each atom into molecules rather than allowing it proceed with the Laws of Physics to guide inorganic material into suitable environments for Life to flourish at a rate a million or so times slower. Barring mutations.
Contrary to what some think, dinosaurs and man did not co-exist (except for the Flintstones).
Now for some humor:
The number in the bible is a typo.
"Israeli archaeologists have discovered human remains dating from 400,000 years ago, challenging conventional wisdom that Homo sapiens originated in Africa, the leader of excavations in Israel said on Tuesday.
Avi Gopher, of Tel Aviv University's Institute of Archaeology, said testing of stalagmites, stalactites and other material found in a cave east of Tel Aviv indicates that eight teeth uncovered there could be the earliest traces so far of our species.
"Our cave was used for a period of about 250,000 years -- from about 400,000 years ago to about 200,000 years ago," he told AFP."

Of which you are NOT one.
Scientist normally do not rely on just one method but several to date fossils.
They have been proven to actually lie and used false information in giving speeches to ordinary people who want to confirm their religious beliefs. That is fraud and should be enough to have their credentials revoked.
That is exactly the same as the young earth advocates. We have trees that are older than 6,000 years old. Yet there are still some idiots who want the rest of us to believe that the earth was only created about 6,000 years ago.
One man here last week, told me human have only been dying for 6,000 years. Yet we have human remains that date back over 100,000 years. These people are delusional.
Evolutionary scientists have been shown to be liars as well.
That is a lie. Where is this tree(s) that is older than 6,000 years old?
I said that men have only been dying for 6,000 years. I disagree with the dating results because of some unverifiable assumptions they are based upon.

It would appear as though your completelack of education is an enormous problem.
World's Oldest Living Tree -- 9550 Years Old -- Discovered In Sweden
'ScienceDaily (Apr. 16, 2008) — The world's oldest recorded tree is a 9,550 year old spruce in the Dalarna province of Sweden. The spruce tree has shown to be a tenacious survivor that has endured by growing between erect trees and smaller bushes in pace with the dramatic climate changes over time'

World's oldest human remains discovered in Israel
"Our cave was used for a period of about 250,000 years -- from about 400,000 years ago to about 200,000 years ago. The teeth are scattered through the layers of the cave, some in the deeper part, that is to say from 400,000 years and through all kinds of other layers that can be up to 200,000 years. The oldest are 400,000 years old. "It is accepted at the moment that the earliest Homo sapiens that we know is in east Africa and is 200,000 years old, or a little less. We don't know of anywhere else where anyone claims to have an earlier Homo sapiens."

What lack of education? - Please quote sources.
Read the article. It's not a tree, it's a dead piece of wood.
Again, you are trying to convince me with a suspect dating system.
Just because someone says it is so, doesn't make it so.
The tree is NOT dead wood either It is growing. There are also many trees of the same age is California. So do some research if you have the intellectual ability to actually read. It seems you are much easier seduced by fiction rather than actual science.
Go take a vacation to that creationist center in the south, they could use another fool to do tours. You will fit right in.
Your bigoted attitude will never be satisfied, yet your total acceptance of a fictional god and Jesus who has never been proven to even have been born is high on your list of absolute certainties. That is a wild sense of imagination you have developed. Keep running with that.
I read it - that's how I learned that the older stuff was not a living tree.
How can you say your attitude is not bigoted?

"[ . . . ] primary adherents are those Christians and Jews [ . . . ]"
Conservative Muslims are also YECs.
Some Hindus are Creationists, but their time span is longer.
fun facts for all:
As of 2012, of the U.S. adult population:
73% identify as Christian (= 48% Protestant 22% Catholic 2% Mormon 1% Orthodox)
46% deny human evolution
30% interpret the Bible literally (≈ 40% of Christian Americans)
<20% believe in geocentrism
19.6% lack a religion
That is something we think we understand, but it's impossible, if we don't know what represents a year.
What did God use as a year?
