But science is not just a collection of facts - it is primarily a method for arriving at a close approximation of those facts. It is not inconceivable that a different methodology will someday establish an age for the world of, say, 4.61 billion years or 4.48 billion years. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that somewhere there is at least one credible geologist or cosmologist working on refining this data.
ALL scientific knowledge is provisional. As it should be.

Wow.......ambitious, aren't we? Try comprehending that, by a particular non-scientist's calculations, Earth is 6,000 years old. Yeesh. Now there's some real fuckin' science.
