The supposed age of the earth—four-and-a-half billion years ago—isn’t based on dating the earth. It’s based on dates from meteorites! Because of their evolutionary assumptions, evolutionists believe these meteorites are the same age as the earth, so if you date one, you have the age of the other.

But there’s a host of unprovable assumptions behind radiometric dating. And it’s been shown to give incorrect dates for rocks of known age. So why should we trust this method to give us accurate ages for other rocks?

We know the age of the earth because we have the perfect Word of God. The earth is just a few thousand years old.
