I believe the earth to be young, about six to ten thousand years old. There
have been many scientists who have examined the fossil record and found it
to fit just as well in the context of a young earth as in an old one. Also,
there are numerous indirect evidences for a young earth, such as the buildup
of salt in the oceans. If the earth was extremely old, the seas might be
filled with salt! But anyway, about 6,000 to 10,000 years old.
