It would be the same age as the rest of the continents in both the theory of evolution and the bible. In the "earth is billions of years old" theory all the continents came from the same super continent Pangia or something like that. If you belive the Bible/Koran/Talmude (sp) they all come from god or the flood if the flood changed shape of the world.

yeah the guy b4 me is right, its not as old as the world, at one time there was only one conteninent, then a metor hit this land mass and cracked its super plate into 6 plates ( hence the 6 land masses) these plates floated around the earths surface in exactly the same way as the do today, when i say floated i mean moved extreamly slowly, the usa and europe move away from each other a fraction of a inch ( 1mm) every year, but over millions of years u end up wit oz been where it is and antartica been were it is, when they split up the land mass that is antartica was probably somewhere near the equator, there was a documentary on this, fairly gud cant remember tho when they said that metor hit, but thats ur starting point for antartica

Certainly not as old as the world. After all, for a long time land masses didn't exist on Earth.
