Whats the age of the earth?

4 billion years give or take 500 years or so

Happy birthday to Earth.....

Quote:The theory of evolution isn’t monolithic as far as I know. New discoveries have been made which tweak the theory from time to time.

True, but trite.  This is the case with all scientific theories, it is part of the self-correcting nature of science.

Quote:Can you apply the same standard to your own beliefs?

Yup.

Quote:BTW I threw out the idea of hell because I can’t find its scriptural basis not based on “proof”, whatever that is.

 
A cursory reading of scripture would seem to indicate that the people responsible for the Bible certainly did believe in a literal, eternal Hell.  I respectfully suggest that the real reason you abandoned the idea of hell is that the notion of eternal torture is repugnant to you.  And that's a good thing.

Quote:Their is no proof of evolution

Other than watching it happen, you mean.

Quote:but many people believe it because “science says so”,

This is probably true. But even if it is, it doesn't alter the fact that evolution is also accepted because it happens to be true.

Quote:even though scientists can’t even agree 100% on the age of the earth or anything else.

Bearing in mind that the percentage of scientists who disagree with fundamental scientific principles (such as biological evolution) is an insignificant number.
But I'm getting the feeling that you really don't grasp how sciences works.  A certain level of disagreement is the basis of scientific progress - if all scientists agreed with each other always and about everything, science stops being science and becomes dogma.

A better question to ask is "How do we calculate the age of the Earth ?"

I believe our best estimates are 4.543 billion years old.
We know it's at least 4.374 billion years

In uranium-lead dating, for instance, the radioactive decay of uranium into lead proceeds at a reliable rate. Based on the very old zircon rock from Australia we know that the Earth is at least 4.374 billion years old.

From other meteorites that we've sampled, the age gets pushed to 4.4 - 4.5 billion.

The best estimate for Earth's age is based on radiometric dating of fragments from the Canyon Diablo iron meteorite.
And I believe it's the sample from this particular meteorite that gives us the 4.543 billion years old estimate.

If you are unfamiliar with radiometric dating, Google is very helpful on this topic.

I think anything is possible.  We usually think of prayer as something of a request and then some base belief on the “answer” or lack of one.  Make me rich make me famous make me well make me strong make me etc etc etc.  Solve all of my immediate problems and do it right now or else.

Not my experience of what prayer is or how it effects the natural or spiritual realm.

Either nobody has ever prayed to have a lost limb restored (LOL) or God doesn't answer prayers. http://whywontgodhealamputees.com/

In my late teens, I had a lot of people (easily over one hundred) pray to restore my missing eye. It’s been 32 years, so I’m forced to come to the conclusion that God works very, very slowly.

Well, it took him 14 billion years to create you, so...

Nuh uh.  Just the one day.
