Scientific estimates or guesses; universe or heavens 20 billion years old, earth 4.6 billion years old, moon 200 to 300 million years younger than earth, dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, Ice Age 2.5 million years ago.

14.5 billion years old. This is based on value of hubble's constant obtained from velocities and distances to visible galaxies (measured using cepheid variables and the doppler effect)
Current acepted value of H is 70km/s/Mpc (age is given by 1/H if you sort out all the units and convert from seconds to years).
This prediction is confirmed by the cosmic microwave background radiation which is radiation with a known original wavelength (from when the universe first cooled down enough to become transparent) which has been red shifted allowing us to calculate the age of the universe.

About 13- 14 billion years.
It gets complex though when some scientists think time operated at a different rate at the dawn of time........

To be honest, I dont think anyone knows. Scientists try to determine the age via atoms, but I think atoms can be 'restarted' by going through a black hole or other event. Alot we know about the universe is assumed.

no body knows for sure, but around 7000 years. supposedly, cause thats around the time that God made it. if it were billions of years old, then the moon would have drifted way too far away from the earth by now, the earth would have plummeted into the suns fire, and there wouldnt be any minerals in the rocks now.

HAHAHAHAHA no one knows the answer to that question. But some Evolutionist will try to tell you 800 million, 15 billion or 467 quadrillion (they can't even agree on it).... But I'll give you a hint, the best answer is in 1 Corinthians 13:12
