The Moon needed the earth to form first so that it's gravity pull would later form the moon. So the Earth is older than the moon.

Current theory states that sometime when Earth was young, another planet struck it and the resulting debris formed the moon. I can't answer as to what age the earth was when this happened, but the earth is definitely older than the moon.

I think the answer that fits the question is that they are of the same age if you're going to carbon-date the rocks from the moon.The reason is that the moon was just a chip of the old earth.New theories and observations can now prove that.But definitely LIFE is much younger than either the earth or the moon's age.

the moon was formed when a meteor hit a very young earth and it formed from the debris of the impact, therefore, the earth is older

it depends on what you believe... do you believe in Creation or Big Bang Theory or something else ??
Each will probably have its own order in which the different things came into existence...
Within Creation the earth is older than the moon, Big Bang its probably simultanious
