Christian fundamentalists don't believe that evolution is an pretty accurate explanation of how the many variety of life forms came to exist.
Do you also dismiss the the thousands of other fields of study which work within the framework that the Earth is around 4.5 billion years old, and the Universe is between 12 billion and 15 billion years old?

That is correct, I do not. The earth is 10,000 years old or less.
Creation follows the known laws of science and physics while evolution wants to teach, as fact yet it is still a theory since no one was present during creation, that it goes against ALL known laws of science and physics.
Can you give a good explanation why blood vessels are being found in the fossils of dinosaurs. The majority of dinosaurs that lived were the size of sheep. Being reptiles, they grew and continued to grow as long as they lived. Evolution cannot overcome the exponential odds of the perfection of the universe. It cannot explain that if any single part of our universe is changed by fractions, Life cannot exist.
It also has no explanation for the Cambrian explosion. Heck, Darwin himself said his theory fails if there are not found any intermediate fossils- there are none. And, if in a short(geologically speaking time period) there are an incredible number of creatures, thus the Cambrian era. There are no known locations for the geologic table of stratas.
Sorry, logic dictates to me that creation has more veracity and proof than does evolution.

The problem I have here is that yes, I believe that the bible is literally true,
but I haven't found ANYWHERE that says the earth is ONLY a few thousand
years old.
I thought the bible was an overview of things. Great time periods are often
missing. Often time periods are compressed, because after all, the purpose
of the bible is to give that overview of life, and show people who God is,
how to come into relationship with Him.
Yes, I wouldn't want to DISMISS excellent work, but I also don't condone
or accept evolution since I believe that is a very superficial way of
viewing things.

Most Christians believe the Earth is approximately 6000 years old. If you would like to read the first few chapters of Genesis that would probably explain to you why. I personally don't care so much about how old the Earth is or the fact that people (apparently) enjoy arguing about it. I don't really believe the Earth could be millions of years old, but at the same time I have a hard time believing it to be 6000.

It makes more sense that beings from another planet used their DNA on a few gorillas, the rest was a product of nature. Also I am more inclined to go with 4.5 billion instead of six thousand years as far as the age of the earth.

Study's can be done all day long, but the point is...God made our World. Evolution does have a factor in our lives as there are changes in our environment all the time. So, Evolution is something all should know about. BUT...not to be taken into consideration on who made the World. If you want to believe that, then go to the Dead Sea Scrolls...they are truthful documentations too.
