I'm going to go with 4.5 Bilion Years. How about you?
In other science news, NASA Finds Ancient Organic Material, Mysterious Methane on Mars.

They taught us in Middle School (30+ years ago😕) that it is 6 Billion years old
I think scientists have backed that number down to 4-5 Billion nowadays but whatever...pretty old!
My entire Mars knowledge comes from Total Recall so...i will shut up now
Sounds about right. The oldest rock ever found is a 4.4 Billion Year Old Zircon In western Australia.
shareWow
I didnt know that Padeen
Interesting
I tell 'ya, i gotta give props to that rock for hanging around so long!
Im simply exhausted at 45...4.5 Billion years sounds like a lot of sitting around to me
Listening to the other rocks talk about their stiff joints and how accomplished their kids are...'Cripes! Can we just finish this round of Bingo already?!?
Hells Bells, just cart me off to the Museum already will 'ya??'
I admire that rock, wherever he may be
LOL, Shogie.

No clue, couldn't even make an informed guess, except > a billion.
So strange to see that shot on Mars' surface. It looks like it could have been taken in one of our deserts!
I hope I live to see humans travel to Mars. Think of what we could have accomplished by now if we weren't wasting billions fighting each other.
shareAnd yet they say we're the most intelligent species on our planet. Of course we're the species saying it, so there's that.
shareWhat is the point of going to Mars ? It is a freezing cold wasteland with next to no atmosphere and is uninhabitable.
There's about a million and one reasons to go to Mars. Most importantly, its what humans do. We move forward and never stop exploring. How about ensuring the survival of our species? Fact is, at some point, an earth killer asteroid will hit earth. All of the great minds, Hawking, Musk, Tyson, Nye, agree with this.
Also, if we establish a permanent settlement on Mars, it will be a great jumping off point for further exploration of the Solar System.
Nah, can't be more than a few thousand years. 🤔
shareThe Earth is 41 years old, from my perspective. That's all I can claim to have witnessed.
shareThis is the correct answer...
Hmmm...here we all are with our complicated math and science horseshit and you just nail it, no fancy calculators and scribble pads needed
You continue to impress Froggy🐸🌍🍸
Yes, according to NASA the Earth is 4.5 billion years old.
shareJust slightly older than Stan Lee.
