Imagine being confident that its not 300m, but unable to pin it down to the exact number of years. It was only 6000-6500 years ago, did you lose count?

    Both views can be right, assuming big enough errorbars.

    Earth is 6000 years old ±14 billion years.

    Actually, no. The earth was created this morning, when I woke up. I was dropped into it in media res, complete with a backstory and the lore. It will be deleted when I go to bed tonight.

    Actually all that exists runs entirely in RAM. But it's virtual RAM so nothing really exists. This is all just an illusion of existence, a false reality. Persistent potential state that is never realized.
