Is the earth billions of years old as some say it is or, is the earth only hundreds of thousands of years old as some say it is?

Theres only one way to find out, get a super stong telescope that can zoom in way over a trillion times bigger. Send it on a rocket that goes a trillion times faster then the speed of light. in 10 million years the rocket will be far enough that it will be able to see the earth in past time, turn the rocket back to earth, and look at the pictures 😛

I noticed a slight flaw in your plan. I think the batteries for the digital camera would have deteriated after 10 million years.

Don't you know it is considered rude to enquire about a lady's age? anyway Mother Earth says she's as old as her rocks & little bit older than her coral reefs

Evolutionists estimate the earth to be between 4 and 5 billion years old.
Geologists estimate the earth to be 400 million years old.
physicists tell us that the earth cannot have possibly existed more than 40 million years old.
This strange guy from the Independence Baptist Church believes it's only 6000 years old.
proof
I Timothy 6:20,21 "0 Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and Oppositions of science falsely so called: which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee, Amen."
If you want more proof ya gotta pay the man $15

Apparently this was a conflict back in the latter half of the 19th century. I think, with the exception of a multitude of American hardline evangelicals, scientists of all stripes are in agreement that the best extiamte right now is 4.55 billion years.

Baptist churches and non-denominational/pseudo-Pentecostal are the craziest when it comes to science education.

Why do you want to know?

Seriously. I often wonder why people care about the answer to this. To me the more interesting question is: how much longer is it going to last?

Maybe if we knew how old it was, we would have a better clue how long its going to last

That tidbit alone should be sufficient to reject everything else on that site, for the authors clearly lack comprehension of the most basic principles of science.

many many bible schollars believe that the earth is thousands of years old i think they strung together all the so and so begat so and so's in the bible you know the real boring stuff and they came up with that
which i dont believe myself i think the world is 6-10000 years+ 6 days
old because god kicked back on the 7th day the earth was made at that point and was just 6 days old jk
