A bit over 4.57 billion years, according to most respected scientists, although there is debate.

Not nearly as old as most think. Most scientists and geologists adhere to a concept called 'Uniformaterianism' which basically states that all process, weather, vulcanism, ice ages, geological activity proceed at the same rate now that they always had. Nothing could be further from the truth. The earth's history is punctuated with numerous catastrophic events, mass die offs of animals suddenly, violent volcanic eruptions, asteroid strikes, worldwide catastrophic floods that inundated entire land masses. The last Yellowstone eruption alone destroyed most life in a good part of the US.

4 and a half Billion years, and the same with the moon. Astronauts have found rocks on the moon suggesting this, and geologists on Earth too.

It is not known for sure. But I also disagree with Unitarianism. Some Christians believe it is around 6,000 to 7,000 years old by studying biblical history.
