How old is the Earth according to scientific evidence?
The Earth as an accreted celestial body of roughly the same size as exists today, was formed roughly 4.567 billion years ago as concluded by current scientific evidence.
How old is planet earth?
The Earth is around 4.6 billion years old, as suggested by all the available scientific evidence.
How old is the Earth based on scientific evidence?
Most scientists agree that the Earth and our entire solar system is about 4.5 billion years old. To the extent that there are disagreements as to the age of the Earth, the disagreements are in the decimal places. Some argue for 4.5 billion; some claim 4.6 or 4.7 billion years is more likely.
How old was the earth 4.4 billion years ago?
Roughly 167 million years old. The most recent scientific age of the Earth is 4.567 billion years.
Will the natural events that change earth's surface continue forever?
Forever is a long time. All we know is that the earth is approximately 4 billion years old. Throughout that entire time there have been significant events that have shaped the earth's surface. These events have included volcanoes, glaciers, warm inland seas depositing mud that became sedimentary rock, folding and thrusting of the earth's crust, and more. There is no evidence to suggest that these changes will stop.

Is Earth old?
Yes, very. Although some people don't believe this, scientific evidence says the Earth is around 4.5 billion years old, which is very old indeed.

Do scientist debate on the age of the Earth?
scientist do debate in discussing the age of the earth because there is many theories that saying when is the earth began or made

What do the scientific creationists think of the earth?
Most "Creation Scientists" are Old Earth Creationists, so they accept the mainstream scientific evidence that the Earth is immensely old, in fact probably around 4.5 billion years. This means they are not Bible literalists, who would believe that the Earth is only a few thousand years old. However, they seek a greater role for God than merely initiating the "Big Bang" and letting the rest happen. So, many seek to find some evidence of "Intelligent Design" in the world.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Why doesn't Victoria justice have her drivers license yet she is 22 years old?
There is no evidence to suggest this is so.
Is creationism credible?
There are at least two, quite different forms of creationism, and the question of whether creationism is credible must be applied separately to each. No doubt, both Young-Earth creationism and Old-Earth creationism are credible to their proponents, but the question must be whether they are credible to other well informed people.Young-Earth creationism holds that the Earth is only a few thousand years old, usually around six thousand. However, science has proven conclusively that the world is billions of years old, so this can not be credible. Because of the overwhelming evidence that the world is certainly more than six thousand years old, some Young-Earth creationists have adapted Young-Earth creationism by saying that each of the days stated in Genesis chapter 1 was really an almost indefinite period of time. According to this version, the world could be many thousands of years old. This not only undermines the standard Young-Earth creationism argument, but it is even less credible, given that there is no supporting evidence for this, not even biblical evidence.Old-Earth creationism accepts the scientific evidence for the great age of the Earth, so from this point of view it is more credible than Young-Earth creationism. Nevertheless, some Old-Earth creationists say that God created all living things just as they are today. Others accept that species evolved, but say that this was not the result of natural selection but Intelligent Design. Both versions of Old-Earth creationism fail in the face of scientific evidence, although Intelligent Design is more sophisticated and therefore somewhat more credible. Intelligent Design is also claimed by some Young-Earth creationists, perhaps because it has captured the imagination of a proportion of the population, but it seems inherently an Old-Earth creationism concept.Ultimately credibility comes down to whether a hypothesis is compatible with the scientific evidence. Creationists do not put forward scientific evidence to support their hypotheses, instead proposing various ways in which they believe they can undermine the evidence for evolution. Occasionally, scientists respond (eg. Dawkins, Perakh, et al)and demonstrate the failure of these arguments. So, to be credible, creationism has to adapt further, until its claims are at least somewhat consistent with the scientific evidence.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
What is Young Earth creationism?
== == Young Earth Creationism is one of two streams into which Creationism can be divided (the other being Old Earth Creationism which also accepts a divine creator, but agrees with mainstream science that the scientific evidence points to the world being immensely old and that species have evolved through the process of evolution). Young Earth Creationism is a world-view that interprets scientific evidence based on a literal or semi-literal reading of the Biblical book of Genesis and thus teaches that the world is only about 6,000 years old. Young Earth Creationists believe that living things were created by God much as we know them today and that the various species have diversified within the genetic pool of their original kind.
Evidence against the world being billions of years old?
There really is no evidence against the world being billions of years old, mainly because we've proven that the earth IS billions of years old.
