Facepalm. 13.7 billion years ago the atoms that are in the earth where created. 4.3 billion years ago they started forming together due to gravity.willevjas wrote:A friend of mine who isn't atheist or theist and is still trying to figure out what he wants to believe says that the universe is 13.7 billion years old (according to science) and the earth is 4.3 billion.

There is no evidence that anything exists on earth that is older than 4.3 billion years or maybe it just hasn't been discovered yet. Can scientists be that wrong on estimation of existence?
