In the 1600s, according to accurate calculations using the Bible, Archbishop James Ussher proposed Earth was created at 6 PM on October 22nd, 4004 BC. That is why many people still believe the Earth is 6000 years old. But he missed it by only 4,649,994,000 years.
I did my own Bible calculations by counting the generations from Adam to Jesus (79 generations) according to Luke. According to Mathew, there are 14 generations from Abraham to David, and there are 24 generations from David to Jesus. Considering a generation is 25 to 30 years, from Adam to Jesus is 2370 years give or take maybe a little more considering in the old testament, miraculously, people lived to 930 years and gave birth at the age of 600 years! So, Human life on earth would have started around 2370+2018= 4388 years ago. You may add 6 days to that since Adam was created on day 6.
Anyway, In the 19th century, the Geologists used the sedimentations to recalculated the earth's age, and they guessed the earth is a few million years old. Now, by calculating the half-life of the radioactive decay of Uranium to lead in meteoroids and ancient rocks, the earth is estimated to be 4.65 Billion years old
