What do creationists think of civilizations that are older than the time of creation?

For example the oldest human civilization dates to 17,000 years ago in Tiwanaku, Bolivia. How would that fit in to the Adam/Eve being created less than 6,000 years ago? I'm a creationist myself but don't know the answer.
Or for example the ancient Egyptian civilization dates to 10,000 years ago.
 
It all makes so much more sense when you understand that GOD is "Bi-Polar" with a cosmic case of OCD...(hee hee)
 
What tools did they use to get this date?

carbon dating has quite often proved to be extremely inacurate simply because when they are carbon dating they carbon date the material an object was made of not the object.
 
lol, You're supposed to refute the methods used to date artifacts. Like the carbon dating method. You can google why it isn't always accurate, however it does work from the 1940's back to about 25,000 years, so any civilization before the creation period still thawrts the creationists ideas..Hate to say but you should really hop on the Darwanian boat with the rest of us thinkers as you seem to have a brain and might enjoy using it a little more than just being told everything and believing it blindly..
 
Tiwanaku, Bolivia Info is not factual basis.

Purely speculative. Much fabrication has even taken place to make things appear older in order to disprove creation but were caught and admitted it.

The signature of creation is so obvious comparitively amongst so many plants and creatures. example: circulatory system.
How come not living entity evolved without it. or right down to the single cell.
 
There are many forms of creationist. On Y!A it usually means a "young - Earth creationist" who tend to believe that the entire Universe is only 6000 to 10,000 years old. Most of these people are very reluctant to say exactly how old.

Most of the "evidence" they give for this is irrelevant, just plain wrong or in too many cases, deliberate lies. They are led by frauds who make a lot of money from this. Sorry, but it's true.

On the other hand it is sensible to say that the Universe was created thousands of millions of years ago, the Earth is about a third of that age and people seem to have been around a bit more than a million years. That is what the real evidence suggests. If you believe that God had a big hand in all of this, well you might be right.

A few hundred years ago Bishop Ussher of the Church of Ireland calculated the dare of creation at 4004 BC. There is a lot wrong with that, but he was working from the only thing he knew. It's an odd fact that the invention of the wheel was probably about 4000 BC and it is also the time that bronze was invented or discovered, maybe a few hundred years later.

In modern Turkey the Catalhoyok site dates back about 9,500 years while Jericho is nearly as old.
