Thanks Darwinian lol 4.5 billion it is.But I was referring to the estimated age of the universe in general not the estimated age of the Earth.I was off by a billion years or so according to Wikipedia:
The universe is about 13.5 to 14 billion years old, from the Big Bang to the present. The half billion year uncertainty allows for a number of different methods of measurement to all fall "within it" and be in agreement. Certainly there may be some other estimates of the age of the universe, but this is a scientific one. It is almost universally accepted by scientists today.
Thats my fault or mental fatigue lol I was not thinking about the age of the Earth when I used the example of the sun rising and setting so thanks once again for the correction.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
