4.54 billion years old, with an error range of 50 million years.

I get my info from scientists.

I, too, misread it as "4 billion."

Actually, the dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago...

The belief in "Young Earth" theory--i.e. that the Earth is only a little more than 2,000 years old--is based upon an addition of all the "begats" in the Book of Genesis: X begat Y; Y begat Z; etc.; and than estimating the length of time for each generation.

But it is my understanding that ancient Near Eastern genealogies are notoriously selective: "X begat Y" may mean only that X was the great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather of Y.

So do I.

The oldest known organisms to have lived on earth are Prokaryotes. Less than a MM in size they are believed to be the first life on the planet at about 93 million years ago.
