G'day Gerlooser,

There shouldn't be anyone.

The earth was formed around 4.57 billion years ago. The moon was formed shortly after.Based on extensive and detailed scientific evidence, geologists have determined the age of the Earth to be around 4.567 billion years (4.567x109 years). This age represents a compromise between the oldest-known terrestrial minerals – small crystals of zircon from the Jack Hills of Western Australia – and astronomers' and planetologists' determinations of the age of the solar system based in part on radiometric age dating of meteorite material and lunar samples.

The radiometric age dating evidence from the zircons further confirms that the Earth is at least 4.404 billion years old. Comparing the mass and luminosity 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. Since the accretion time of the Earth is not exactly known yet, and the predictions from different accretion models vary between several millions up to about 100 million years, the exact age of the Earth is difficult to define.

In the centuries preceding the scientific revolution, the age of the Earth was determined from the accounts of creation by religious authority. Today some religious groups continue to accept only theological accounts regarding the age of the earth, rejecting scientific evidence which contradicts their beliefs.

There are some socalled Young Earth Creationists who still maintain these claims. Young Earth creationism is a religious doctrine which teaches that the Earth and life on Earth were created by a direct action of God relatively recently (about 6,000 to 10,000 years ago). It is generally held by those Christians, and Jews who believe that the ancient Hebrew text of Genesis is a literal account of historical events, and believe that evidence for a strictly factual interpretation of the text is present in the world today, and that scientific evidence for Darwinian evolution or geological uniformitarianism either does not exist or is wrongly interpreted.

Many of its adherents are active in the development of "Creation Science", a creationist endeavor that holds that the events associated with supernatural creation can be evidenced and modeled through an interpretation of the scientific method. There is no support for a "young Earth" theory in professional science journals or among professional science organizations. However, that doesn't mean that people who don't have a good understanding of science won't believe their claims.

I have attached some sources for your reference.

Regards

The Scripture is about this international. i do not comprehend it to say that the "universe" is in easy words 6000 yrs previous. If i did not have the comprehend-how that the earth is about 6000 yrs previous, i do not comprehend how i can make sense of all the various "data" available. There obviously were catastrophic ameliorations in climate. Mastodons and ferns were modern-day in Arctic aspects. obviously there have been ice a lengthy time period, and hotter circumstances. The magnetic pressure of the earth is reducing by ability of a million/2 ever 1500 years. in case you challenge that trend decrease back basically 10,000 yrs, existence does no longer be attainable in the international... If I hadn't been instructed of the catastrophic flood contained in the days of Noah, i'd arise with any style of odd recommendations to attempt to describe the said phenomena (that are properly understood to be results of an outstanding flood)

Thats probably right or maybe 6000 bc. As for the earth as we know it.

It might have been formed a million years earlier, but not livable, or something happened and it was ruined until God fixed it, for mankind.

People who take Bishop Usher's commentaries more seriously than they take the Bible itself. Ask this question in the religion secion and you'll probably get a mob of them.

no one her because this is the science section and scientists know the earth formed 4.5 billion years ago.
