Quick: how old is the earth estimated to be?

Question

Now come on, did man REALLY coexist with dinosaurs?
Hmm? evidence? please.

ok, I find it quite frightening that today people would believe something so ludicrous that we were put here as humans looking as we do today and actually faught off tyrannisaurus rex's with little spears and managed not to be stomped on by gigantic dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes. I truly fear for people. No wonder it is so easy to convince us that Jews need to be exterminated and that Bush's war really has nothing to do with oil, sheesh. People are scary.

Just over half of scientists believe in the theory of evolution? hmmm, well, I guess it is just a theory, like the theory of gravity for instance....scientists, what fools!!!
ummm, check that figure again, I think in REALITY it is something like 99% of scientists with CREDIBILITY.
on the other hand, scientists with 0 credibility, I would say half of them believe in 'bible history' over scientific analysis, the other half believe there are aliens surveying us from the other side of the moon.......

Answer 1

bible: 6.000-10,000 years
reality: 4.6 billion years

I read some of these other answers, and I can tell you that the footprints, and hiding fossil records, are just outright lies. It's amazing how far the fundamentalists will go to try and "prove" the validity of their religions.

Answer 2

These questions just keep coming over and over and no one is really interested in the answers. Just in trying to promote their own point of view. If you are really interested go read a scientific book or take a class at a university. I personally believe that the proof that the world is billions rather than a few thousand years old is much more convincing. If there was proof humans and dinosaurs existed at the same time scientists would not launch a huge coverup, it would be huge news and who ever discovered would be famous. These reports are hoaxes right up their with the idea that Noah's ark has been found, another story that would be the front story of every major media outlet if it were true or verifiable. As for only half of scientists believing the world is 4.5 billion years old, I think 99% believe it is billions of years old but are perhaphs not sure that 4.5 is the precise number. You can find a lot of bogus stuff on the internet including a site that reports there is no proof that the earth actually revolves around the sun. You need to be critical of your sources.

Answer 3

The book Palaeontology, by James Scott, states:
“Even the earliest species of Homo sapiens (man) lived long after the disappearance of the dinosaurs . . . After tilting (through earth movement) has been allowed for, rocks containing fossil men consistently occur above those preserving the bones of the great dinosaur reptiles and it follows that the latter belong to an earlier age than the human remains.”

The book A Vanished World:
The Dinosaurs of Western Canada states that “all of the 11 major kinds of dinosaurs . . . ceased to exist in the western interior at about the same time.” This, and the fact that human bones have not been found with dinosaur bones, is why most scientists conclude that the Age of Dinosaurs ended before humans came on the scene.

Answer 4

Creation. The planet’s coming into existence is recounted in the Bible with the simple statement: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Gen. 1:1) Just how long ago the starry heavens and the earth were created is not stated in the Bible. Therefore, there is no basis for Bible scholars to take issue with scientific calculations of the age of the planet. Scientists estimate the age of some rocks as being three and a half billion years, and the earth itself as being about four to four and a half billion or more years.

Answer 5

There is only one verse in the Bible that tells us how old is the earth and nobody know when it was created. Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. It was created in the beginning whenever that was. All we know is that when Satan was cast onto the earth God made it for it without form and void. Genesis 1: 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. God destroyed the dinosaurs before He created man. Remember that Satan and all his angels were on the earth when God destroyed it in Genesis 1 verse 2. Also when a angel appears on the earth, he always appears as a man. Don't be fooled nobody know when the earth was earth was created.

Answer 6

The earth is estimated by just over half of all scientists to be 4.6 billion years old and by the rest as 6,000 years or so. I'd say fossils of footprints, both man and dinosaur, together should do it for proof.

Answer 7

4.6 billion years old is the estimate. And by scientific terms, no, man did not coexist with dinosaurs. The first Homo Sapiens evolved about (I think) 200,000 years ago. Dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago.

Answer 8

Yup, sedimentary rock layers showed giants, men and dinosaurs together. People just hide it to support evolution. Rock strata shows human remains with dinisaurs. Earth is about 4,000 years old, or the 4.6 billion by the crazy darwinists.

Answer 9

Scientist are baffled over this. Have you not seen all the art with dinosaurs and man together.

There are generally 3 ages given: One group, 6,000-15,000 years. Next group-25,000 -150,000 and the last group-up to 4.5by. All three groups claim have supporting evidence-and they do fight over it.

Answer 10

Earth is believed to have formed around 4.55 billion years ago out of the solar nebula, along with the Sun and other planets.
