The earth is estimated to be
4.5 billion to 5 billion years old, based on
radioactive dating of lunar rocks
and meteorites, which are thought to have formed
at the same time.

On the other hand, there are minerals that are
contained in the Earth itself and form its,
main structure.

It may not, yet, possible to calculate the exact
age of the Earth but it cold be, reasonably,
approximated by scientific methods.

One of the discrepancies is the fact that some of the
ingredients of Earth may be of extra-terrestrial origin i.e
remnants of meteorites and objects that managed to
reach the surface of the Earth.

They may be older than the earth, itself,
and that is self-evident.

Yet, once again, we can, take the age of the known
Earth deposits from a variety of regions to exclude
meteorite leftovers so that we can safely state the
minimum age of the Earth.


It appears that is not less than 4 billions of years.

I would give religious dogmatics a gift and knock off
one more billion.

Let's assume that te Earth is only 3 billions
of years old for a sake of argument.

How, in the world, 3 billions can fit
the seven days of Creation?

There is no possibility for that to be true at all.

Not one percent.

Common, now, even nine months of a fetus development
can't equate the seven days and nights.



The precise origin of the earth continues to be controversial.

Only precise one.

Among the theories as to its origin, the most
prominent are gravitational condensation hypotheses,
which suggest that the entire solar system was formed
at one time in a single series of processes resulting
in the accumulation of diffuse interstellar gases and
dust into a solar system of discrete bodies.

Older and now generally discredited theories
invoked extraordinary events, such as
the gravitational disruption of a star passing close
to the sun or the explosion of a companion star
to the sun.
