The age of the earth

[Stranger in a strange land]

Have at it!

[Kaine for Senate '18]

The earth was created billions of years ago, by God.

[John Dibble]

The Earth was actually created last Tuesday, but it appears to be billions of years old and there's no evidence to support it being created on Tuesday, so the rational behavior is to treat it as if it were created billions of years ago.

[J. J.]

The earth was created billions of years ago, by God.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[afleitch]

Billions of years ago by forces that are best explained by experts in that field.

This is the closest. In actuality, last Tuesday was billions of years ago, and the Earth was created without a bellybutton.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Billions of years old, created by the almighty Christian God

[BenNebbich]

billions of years old, built in a process, which was created by god.

[dead0man]

4 billion or so is the latest best guess (and that guess gets better every day).

[Hatman 🍁]

4.6 Billion years ago. It was not created by God, but the jury is still out on whether she created the universe.

[dead0man]

..and it was created by gravity.  God may or may not have had a hand in it.

[exopolitician]

Really really....really really old. And by bangs and explosions and stuff

[Daniel Adams]

The earth was created billions of years ago, by God.

[Torie]

I have no idea how old the earth is. I have to assume that is at  least as old as I am, and that is damn old, but beyond that, all  is speculation, and I am a veritable tabula rasa on the topic. But I am going to look into it, and am confident that this no doubt “peer reviewed” site has the answers. It is reassuring to know at least that man and the dinosaurs seemed to get along just fine. Pity that when I was a kid, and asked my parents for a dinosaur as a pet, that they just said no. And now I can’t find any in the pet shops! I hate when that happens.

Billions of years old created under circumstances in the universe created by God.

Nah, I'm a progressive Christian except with views on Catholics and Mormons similar to fundies.

I agree.

Obviously, God didn't directly create Earth.

He's a socialist Protestant bigot who ignores the moral teachings of the church.

If that makes sense.

[12th Doctor]

The Earth was sneezed out of the nose of a giant being, and someday the great handkerchief will come and wipe it all away.

Are the Mormon and Catholic churches progressive? No, and that's where my issue with them lies.

When I go to church (not that often really), I go to an emergent/emerging one.
