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.
Earth as seen from Apollo 17. The age of the Earth is 4.54 Â± 0.05 billion years (4.54 Ã 109 years Â± 1%). This dating is based on evidence from radiometric age dating of meteorite material and is consistent with the radiometric ages of the oldest-known terrestrial and lunar samples.adiometric dating continues to be the predominant way scientists date geologic timescales. Techniques for radioactive dating have been tested and fine-tuned on an ongoing basis since the 1960s. Forty or so different dating techniques have been utilized to date, working on a wide variety of materials.
