Well the universe is 13.7 billion years old. Doesn't seem particularly strange to me that something like this would be found.

That the rock is of an age does not infer it has been here all that time. IE it's meteorite,which means it came from space via who-knows-where. It's likely it has been through very different circumstances than earth.Angel Cloud

They got the radiometric dating wrong, it's 10.000 years old at the most.

It was a displaced boulder caused by Noah's flood. Common mistake.
