Creationists look at Genesis and read of a recent global flood, a young earth, etc. Geologists look at the Earth and see processes that take millions of years and zero evidence of a recent global flood. Who is right?

I am a creationist, yet I do not agree with your statements here.

Then clearly you are not a True Creationist :p
Really? I don't think one needs to believe in a 6000 year old earth nor a global flood to be a creationist. A literalist may be compelled to believe these things but even that is not absolute.

The only thing one needs to believe to be a creationist is that God created us and/or the world around us. It doesn't really matter how why nor when.

I think the word "creationist" is more understood as referring to the YEC/literalist/inerrantists/fundamentalist camp. Although they do not make up all of theism or Christianity in a long shot.

Could you be more specific?

Creationists look at Genesis and read of a recent global flood, a young earth, etc.

I believe God created us all, but
I do not know how recent the flood was, nor do I claim the Earth is young.
