Estimates by geologists of the age of the Earth give about 4.55 billion years. Generally these scientists hold the [[theory of evolution|evolutionary view]] to be correct. This estimate is primarily based on radioactive dating of meteorites. The majority of scientists conclude that the Earth formed by natural processes, specifically by the accumulation of debris orbiting the sun billions of years in the past.
