Young earth creationists believe that the earth was created within the last 10,000 years, and that a worldwide, catastrophic flood can account for the fossil record and plate tectonics and other phenomena that make the earth seem old.
There is no hard & fast date given, just a general agreement that the days of creation mentioned in Genesis were literal, 24 hour days. They assume a priori that the bible is infallible, so if it says 24 hour days, 24 hour days it is. Standard geological dating be damned.
