In the context of Western Civilization, the Earth's age was originally calculated in mainly philosophical and religious terms, with a wide variety of thinkers making estimates of the Earth's age based on sacred texts, spiritual revelations, or (quite distinctly) metaphysico-scientific studies of reality, among other things. It was not until the early modern era that stricter experimental science was utilized to derive the age of the Earth based on geological evidence.
The Earth's age is estimated to be around 4.5 billion years. This calculation is based on radiometric dating of meteorites and rocks from Earth. Scientists like Clair Cameron Patterson played a key role in refining these age estimates.
