there is no way to determine exactly how old the earth is and it depends on who u ask. Science tells us threw carbon 14 testing that th earth is 6.5 billion years old, however carbon 14 dating is not as exact science. If you ask Creationists they will tell you that the earth is only 6000 years old. So who is right? Its hard to say, so go out and do your own research and remember always keep an open mind.

about 4 and 1/2 billion years old.If the rate of radioactive decay were faster,it would be like a nuclear meltdown.That's one reason we know its not just several thousand years old,or even a couple hundred thousand.The math is sound.The dating methods all agree.in case someone tells you otherwise,check here http://www.tim-thompson.com/radiometric.html

4.5 Billion years is the widely accepted figure by every non-quacky scientist who cares about the problem in the first place. Most religious people find this hard to swallow because it threatens their tiny little closed off worlds, or it makes their tiny little brains hurt.

the age of Earth is still in doubt even if there lots of research that shows it's about 4.5 billion years old.,lets just stick to one used.
