The best answer I can think of (and undoubtedly the most controversial) is religion. Some religions state that the Earth was created approximately 4000 years ago along with the rest of the universe. I am neither agreeing with or discrediting religions that state this, only pointing out that they contradict what some scientific discoveries (such as the results of carbon dating) have proclaimed.
it is 4.5 billion years old
scientists believe it.
4.6 billion years old
Some people believe the earth was first created 4.6 billion years ago, humans did not exist, nor did any other life forms. Humans didn't come into being until 15 million years ago, about 4.45 billion year's into earth's history.
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.
10 billion light years was the distance. And we believe it was a quasar.
"Evolutionists" belived the earth to be incredible old, over 4.5 billion years.
Scientists believe that about 13.7 billion years have passed since the beginning of time. 13.7 billion years is 1.37 billion decades.
Earth did not exist 700 billion years ago, nor did the universe. Earth is about 4.6 billion years old.
No, the earth wasn't around 7 billion years ago. Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago.
No, earth will not disintegrate in 2 billion years. We have about 5 billion years before the sun expands.
== == The age of the Earth is roughly 4.6 billion years.
