The earth has been dated over and over by uranium-lead dating. The rate of decay is always consistent in radioactive isotopes. The oldest rocks ever found, and so the minimum (and likely) age of the earth, is indisputably 4.6 billion years.

The rate of decay of C-14, for King $hit above me, renders dating anything older than about 50,000 years impossible using that method. Good to know you've done your research.

Since I only believe what I know to be true and what can be proven, without a doubt to me, I'd say exactly 17 years, 13 days old.

Of course, if someone could prove to me with some sort of absolute fact that the world did not come into existance when I did, then I'm all for it.

Its been proven that the earth is 4 - 4.5 billion years old. I swear I answer this question at least 3 times a week.

I suggest reading the book "The age of the earth" It shows how the age of the earth has been determined and all the different evidence for it. The earth is between 4.5 and 4.6 billion years old.

The universe is 13-15 billion years old...this is not my opinion or debatable, this is a FACT. The earth itself is around 5 billion

no one knows for certain.

Biblically, it's 6010 years old, as historically, Adam and Eve were created in 4004 B.C

According to modern scientific theory, it's about 150 billion (don't quote me on that) because it is believed that organisms showed up about 100 billion years B.C

I accept the Biblical theory cuz (A) the Big Bang and Evolution theories are flawed (B) we cannot verify that the current scientific methods for dating back chemicals is accurate

The Earth is 4.57 billion years old.

This is the best figure geology and radiological dating can currently give us.

The Universe is about 13.7 billion years old.

Based on astrophysics, cosmology and in particular the microwave background of the observable universe.

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.

i amused by people such as Hey, Ray, who has concluded
"the Big Bang and Evolution theories are flawed"

... but has the scientific age of the planet off by an order of more than 1000%.

and then there's Pablo, who seems to think that modern medicine and agriculture have been in place since the first humans appeared.
