Already in 1654 , A scholar named John Lightfoot , whose calculations were based on the book of Genesis in the Bible, proclaimed that the Earth had been created precisely at 9 o'clock.tomorrow, Mesopotamia time, on October 26 of the year 4004 BC . At the beginning of the XVIII century, a scientist, the count of Buffon , warmed a small replica of the planet he created and measured the speed to which it cooled.Based on these data I estimate that the Earth was about 75,000 years old. In the 19th century, the Physical Lord Kelvin I use different equations to establish that the Earth was between 20 and 4...
