The oldest zircon in metamorphized rock is 4.3 billion years old, that puts a fairly firm lower limit on earth's age. No meteroric material is over 4.6 billion years old, that puts a reasonable upper limit. But an upper limit does not concern biblical literalists since the bible is greatly wrong in the other direction.
