How old is the Earth?

Answer 1

4 500 000 000 years, given or taken a few.

Answer 2

According to the latest scientific research, about 4.55 billion years, meaning the Earth is about halfway through its lifetime. In another 5 billion years or so, the Sun will swallow up the Earth as it expands, then collapses into a dead sun, not having enough mass to form a black hole.

If you take the religious stance, then the age of the Earth varies according to the creation story you subscribe to. Usually somewhere between 6 and 10 thousand years old.

Answer 3

Based on extensive modern scientific evidence, geologists have determined the age of the Earth to be around 4.55 billion years (4.55x109 years). This age represents a compromise between the oldest-known terrestrial minerals – small crystals of zircon from the Jack Hills of Western Australia – and scientists' determinations of the age of the solar system(4.6 billion years ago) based in part on radiometric age dating of meteorite material and lunar samples, that we got in the Apollo landings of 1969.

The radiometric age dating evidence from the zircons confirms that the Earth is at least 4.404 billion years old. Comparing the mass of the Sun to the multitudes of other stars, it appears that the solar system cannot be much older than those rocks. Ca-Al-rich inclusions – the oldest known solid constituents within meteorites which are formed within the solar system – are 4.567 billion years old, giving an age for the solar system and an upper limit for the age of the Earth. It is assumed that the accretion of the Earth began soon after the formation of the Ca-Al-rich inclusions and the meteorites.

Thus, the exact age of the Earth is hard to precisely define.

Answer 4

less than 30 000 years old, because the amount of radio-active carbon in the atmosphere has not reached equilibrium yet. There was a massive flood of global scale that took place 4400 years ago (referred to as Noah's flood in the Bible) which determined most of the earth's shape and form as we see it today. Good example is Grand Canyon - how can a canyon of such proportion be formed in a desert? There must have been a wetter period before.

Why are there rock engravings of dinosaurs, yet paleontologists claim that they went extinct 65 million years ago.??

Answer 5

The Earth is ~6000-10,000 years old according to the genealogy in the Bible. That is the view I take. Science has led many to believe the Earth is billions of years old, but they also thought that the world was flat at one time too.

Answer 6

Earth may have had two different "birthdays", one when the planets formed from coagulating dust, resulting in a roughly Mars- to Venus-sized planet in third orbit, and the other one when this planet collided with another one, merged into the planet of current size, and ejected the moon. None of the other solid planets in our solar system seems to have undergone such rough treatment, although maybe some moon of Jupiter or Saturn (Tethys?).

Answer 7

The Earth is 4.3 billion years old.

Answer 8

6-8 billion years old. Mind you, the universe is much older, so earth is still pretty much young.

Answer 9

Scientific evidence shows it to be approximately 6 billion years old.

Answer 10

15 billion plus

Answer 11

4.5 billion years, by scientific reckoning.

6-10 thousand by the abrahamic (hebrew, christian, muslim, etc.)creation myths rekconing.
But that one says the earth is flat, disc shaped and the fixed unmoving cventer of the universe.
