SCIENTIFIC AGE OF THE EARTH. efore analyzing the arguments advanced by creation âscientistsâ for a very young Earth, I here summarize briefly the evidence that has convinced scientists that the Earth is 4.5 to 4.6 billion years old.
Using this method, we arrive at an age for Earth of approximately 6,000 years. Itâs important to realize that the Bible nowhere explicitly states the age of the earthâthis is a calculated number. Another method of determining the age of the earth is to use resources such as radiometric (carbon) dating, geologic cycles, and so forth. By comparing different methods, and seeing if they align, scientists attempt to determine how old the planet is. This is the method used to arrive at an age for Earth of about 4 to 5 billion years. Itâs important to realize that there is no means to directly measure the age of the earthâthis is a calculated number. Both of these methods of determining the age of the earth have potential drawbacks.
