What is the age of the oldest known scientifically dated thing on Earth, and what is it?

Question

A source would be great, too.

Okay, Creationists, if you feel the need to spew your garbage here, at least try to give your version of an accurate answer and how you arive at it. Don't just say everybody else is wrong, give some dates, items, and exactly where you got those notions. You know, like a real answer that actually expands knowledge.

Answer 1

Zircons are the oldest minerals known. Some from Western Australia have been dated at 4.404 billion years old, give or take 8 million years.

Answer 2

Some of the oldest rocks on Earth are from the Canadian Shield and they have been dated at about 3.8 to 4.0 billion years old.

We have determined the age of the planet at 4.55 billion years using meteorite dating and Concordia curves for U238-Pb206 systems.

Answer 3

I have something in my freezer that dates back to the Pleistocene Era. Meat loaf, perhaps?

Answer 4

Hmmm.. If you are an evolutionist, you wouldn't know. Nothing is exact or sure when it comes to the oldest "thing". This question is a fallacy waiting for a faulty answer..
