There is no real proof for the theory of an Old Earth (there was nobody there to watch it).
But then many may say there is no real proof for a Young Earth
read some evolutionary science books and then read the book of Genesis in the Bible then you can draw your own conclusions.

The Earth formed around 4.57 billion years ago and its only known natural satellite, the Moon, began orbiting it around 4.53 billion years ago.
