Sumerians lived 8000 years ago - what about the Bible's claims?

The Bible is a book; a book which I, along with 16% percent of the human population, group with a particular type as literature commonly referred to as fiction. The Earth is not hundreds or thousands of years old. In fact, it is 4 1/2 billion years old. This is proven by a method called Rubidium dating. This method measures the amount of a radioactive isotope in a rock and by combining that information with the known rate of the decay of the radioactive isotope, scientists have irrefutably determined that the Earth is no less than 4 1/2 billion years old. To say otherwise is to say that you don't believe in gravity.
