I'm interested in how this squares with rocks that have been dated to 4.4 billion years.

*goes to library, finds book*
Radiometric dating methods have produced literally thousands of dates for events in Earth's history. Rock succeeding 3.5 billion years in age are found on all continents. Earths oldest rocks so far may be as old as 4.28 billion years. Discovered in northern Quebec Canada and on the shores of Hudson Bay these rocks may be remnants of earths earlier crust.

Radiometric dating has been the case of the ideas of Hutton, Darwin, and others, more than 150 years ago and for the geologic time must be immense.
