All sorts of lines of research have zeroed in on pretty much the same age for the Earth: 4.5 billion years.

That's great. You've done your research and decided to subscribe to a line of orthodoxy proposed by those whom you've read. Have you also done your own research to test the claim that the speed of light is c. 386,000 miles per second, or do you take other peoples word for that, too?

What are you going to do when a peer-reviewed scientist claims the earth is really 4.6 billion years old? Or how about 5.7? LOL!

I have and look to my previous post for the actual speed. You are way off.

The proposed age of the Earth has been tested and retested by many researchers across numerous fields of research. As for 4.6 billion years, that age would fall within the margin of error; 5.7 billion would not and no evidence points to Earth being that old.

As I have pointed out many times, you can either pull the numbers out of your tail end (as you are doing) or you can go with the numbers that have been cross-checked and verified.
