If you want it from the very start, the best estimate are only accurate within 100 million years (13.7 billion years is the age of the universe).
If you want only since the beginning of the earth, then it is again only know within 100 million years again (4.5 billion).
Anything else that you could be told is just based on some arbitrary year zero that is not based on anything but historical or mystical event.

The world wasn't made in a single year -- the materials accumulated over a period of some millions of years, so there is no suitable starting point for a calendar. The age is roughly 4.5 billion years.

4,540 million plus or minus 50 million is a recent estimate.

Seems like a big margin of error? It's about 16 minutes in a day which is not bad if you don't have a clock and are guessing from the position of the Sun or stars.

One thing is certain. It is not 6011.

There are several different calendas in use around the world. To answer you question, you must say which calendar you are using.

Nobody knows. Anyone who says they know is wrong.
