Greedo, someone has given you the wrong information.
1. Creationists do not claim that the earth is only 6000 years old. There will always be conjecture about exactly how old the earth is. There is room to disagree here. What they are saying is that it is likely not millions of years old and this is due to archaeological and historical findings.
2. It is not based on a text written "2500 years ago". It's based on science, archaeology and the Biblical account of the creation of the species.
3. Creationism does not teach that Dinosaurs bones were "planted by god". In contrast, it teaches that dinosaurs did exist and that this is perfectly consistent with the creation account. And carbon dating has been proven over and over to be terribly unreliable and inconcistent.
What IS difficult to swallow is the notion that cognizant, feeling, reasoning human life along with the complexity of it's physiology and emotions, just randomly sprang from a cocktail of random chemicals (a mathematical impossibility) and then developed from one species to the next (which there is 0 evidence for - we only have complete forms of species, no transitional forms). ...sorry, I just don't have enough faith to buy into the Naturalist religion.
Anyway, this discussion is far too in-depth for a forum like this.
