How old is the Earth?

Evolutionists believe that the Earth is very old. There are many ages given but around 4-5 billion years is generally accepted by them.

But the Earth doesn't look young or old! The Earth looks like the Earth. There is nothing that we can find that specifies how old it is or how young it is.

The beliefs and the resulting pre-conceptions of each person will allow them to see the Earth as they expect it to be. Consequently they see a very old Earth, because they need that for their belief in evolution, or a very young Earth because (say) they are Christians and that is what the Christian Bible says.

What does the Science show?

- The continents are eroding too quickly.
- There is not enough helium in the atmosphere.
- Many fossils indicate that they must have formed quickly, and could not have taken long time-spans.
- Many processes, which we have been told take millions of years, do not need such time-spans at all.
- The oceans are nowhere near salty enough.
- What do comets tell us about the age of the solar system?
- Is there evidence that our solar system is only thousands of years old, instead of the millions of years claimed by evolutionists?
- What about the age of stars?
- How old is the moon?
- How old is the sun?

These issues need to be addressed using science not a belief system.
