== == The age of the Earth is roughly 4.6 billion years.
The Earth is around 4.6 billion years old, as suggested by all the available scientific evidence.
About 10 billion years
A:No. The earliest evidence of life on earth is probably less than 3 billion years. The earth itself is only about 4.5 billion years old.
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.
