Choose which figure come closest to your position. Some might think that it was created less than a millisecond ago, in which case with option 2 but mention your position in a post. Most geologists seem to agree on about 4.54 billion years, whereas various creationists (young earth creationists) think about 6000 years (or less than 10000 years). There are also old earth creationists....

Old Earth is scary and hard to understand. Like medicine, physics, and science.
Also, I won't be clicking on that link. I can only imagine what Googles ad bot will start sending me. Edited by Tapfret - January 19 2017 at 12:11 |

I think if the Earth had been created only 10000 years ago, it wouldn't be as big as it is today. (Because it has barely grown at all during the past few decades).

The way you phrased this everyone will get the poll question right. You should obviously have asked:
Which figures come farthest from your views on the age of the Earth? |

Haha, on a serious personal note: I had actually made a New Years resolution to communicate in a more direct, open and honest way with others, and to be more intellectually honest and direct with myself. Doing otherwise not only confuses other people, it confuses me at times. I regret my tomfoolery in the way I presented that climate change topic before. I sometimes use silliness as a shield due to my social anxiety. Edited by Logan - January 19 2017 at 13:13 |

No man, no way! It's not as disposable as the insignificant human life span.

Here in the not so great and not so white North, we call iced Earth the Arctic tundra, and we will until all the permafrost melts.

The question of why do the two different dating methods arrive at such widely differing results is more interesting for me. As we know dating of earth is quite difficult as this is normally done by plotting archaeological finds in the the strata layer in which they have been found, as this stolen graphic shows:
But as you can see, earth (i.e. that strata where life is known to exist) only occupies the first thirty inches of the outer lithosphere of the world. If we work on the principle that the world grows one inch per century, then this makes the earth extremely young (between zero and three thousand years old). Of course the impact of climate change on strata-chronology has yet to be determined but it is expected that the shrinkage caused by fossil fuel pollution is counteracted by the girth increases brought about by the western diet however, it is still estimated that this could produce a +100/-50% error in the estimation. Of course the earth layer is considerably younger than the underlying rock and magma layers but not as young the outer "vegetation" layer. The alternative method that is based upon the bible code is to simply count the number of verses written in the old testament since creation and multiply that number by the total number of words in the new testament, which gives us an earth-age of 4.2billion years (which is of course preposterous).

4.5 billion years ago. Put evolution aside. Time is the creationists' biggest problem.

Dean, for the first time in many years, I suspect you of trolling.
But I could be wrong. |
