Can’t be. Earth is just 6,000 years old. Or was that 10,000? I never can remember. /s

Dayum. 4.28 billion years, you say? They've gotta pre-date Robert Byrd by, oh, at least four or five centuries.

The Earth was indeed made in six days... to God a day can stretch a thousand years to a billion yrs. He built the time dimension and exists outside of it.

I thought they’d be found in the head of Murtha.

But whichever way you look at it... isn’t all matter pretty much the same age?

Team finds Earth's 'oldest rocks'

You got any rocks from when you were a kid?

Bound to be older than these!

A swath of bedrock in northern Quebec may be the oldest known piece of the earth’s crust.

Researchers report that this rock is 4.28 billion years old and formed when the Earth was less than 300 million years old.

In an article appearing in Friday’s issue of the journal Science, scientists report that portions of that bedrock are 4.28 billion years old, formed when the earth was less than 300 million years old.

“These rocks paint this picture of an early earth that looked pretty much like the modern earth,” said Richard W. Carlson of the Carnegie Institution of Washington and one of the authors of the paper.

Some scientists say ancient bedrock found in Canada could turn out to be younger rock formed from much older remnants.

I found an old rock recently in my backyard. Don’t know if it’s the oldest rock, but it is so old it can’t hardly move on its own anymore.
