Not the oldest thing (thing, not rock) in the world ever dated. Oldest rock ever dated was found in Western Australia, about 4.4 billion years old. Coincidentally, it was the first ever rock dated by the SHRIMP machine at the ANU here in Canberra.

No he didn't. I farted it out a week last tuesday. All memories of time before a week last tuesday is an illusion - they were put there only so that you disbelieve this statement. Only those that do believe this statement and devote the rest of their lives worshiping and serving me shall go to heaven.

Dude, I think about that all the time at random intervals.  Like what if the world was created only a day ago and everything before that was an illusion to make me think that I was alive before.  It's pretty trippy...

Awesome!

There is a place in Joshua Tree National Park called The Lost Horse Mine. It is cut into a exposure of  columnar basalt  that is about the same age.  The rocks were once part of the continent Rodina and the other half of this same ancient range is exposed in Africa.

It amazes me how time went by so fast... I mean 3.8 billion years is a long time. Just think that the average human lives to around 80 years old. It's weird to think that there has been an earth for that long.

If you believed that then that means all the wars that happened in the life time was an illusion so all those people who died didn't really die, it was all an illusion to them. That's just stupid

heh, next time you're feeling down, just think that in the grand scheme of things, you mean nothing.  You're just a little chunk of carbon, oxygen and nitrogen walking around on a tiny blue sphere, in the middle of a decent sized galaxy, floating through the infinite expanse we call space.

I think a quote from a Mel Brooks movie would work wonders right here:

No, it means that they were never real, and they are just an illusion to you.

An old earth does nothing to prove or disprove either creation or evolution.  If you believe it does, perhaps you should check your six and make sure you don't have a tail.

We used to have a tail and occasionally a person is born with a 6-10" tail like appendage.

But, ATG that tail is only skin not like a tail like humans used to have years ago. Lol I think it's funny those Muslims think it's the re-carnation of a God, haha.
