And more importantly, how long has the earth had the conditions for supporting life? I know it took some time for it to cool down. Thanks.
Didn't take long to cool. It is estimated to be about 6200 years old. Of course uninformed and biased unbelievers estimate a greater age, based on their belief system.

The "timeline" in your title is a good word. It suggests there are more than one line.

So, which line are you talking about? I assume you mean the line for the current earth.

If so, many people can give you very precise answers on the stages of earth history.

All such numbers are guesses. Bible numerologists have their guesses, secular folks have their guesses. Science cannot recreate any past events. It can only test current conditions and imagine that they apply to past events. I once thought my mom had cooked a fabulous meal. Turns out, my dad had made it. I once thought my dad had cooked a great supper. Turns out he had bought everything at the store. Or is that the true story? Ya never know about past events. Just ask O.J.Simpson.

They pretend to anyway.

Why can people not date organic material?

The earth is more than for billion years old, but has existed for forty two years.

By my count it is 45 years, but what is a few years between people?

You are the atheists' best recruitment tool.
Not true either. The dream dating method of assuming our laws existed long before we can know they did, produces belief based nonsense. No longer can it be called science.

You are all wrong. The earth was created last Thursday.

Gah.
That is the punishment for any who dare question the belief based slobbering same state past methods of pretend science? 'Gee, believe in our fantasy past, or you must believe it all happened last week'.

Don't think so.
