The very fact that you couch this statement as "is believed to be" shows it is not a demonstrable fact. It is a simple belief.
So you think the Earth being about 4 billion years old is nothing but a "simple belief"?

Because you and I cannot simply demonstrate how, it's not demonstrable to him I suppose.
My favorite point to counter that kind of logic with is.. If you wanted to dedicate years to learning how the science works and be able to prove it.. you can. If you rather not do that, then you have to take the science on faith. The biggest difference from religion being that you can go figure it out for yourself if you really want to.

Yes. It could be that old. It might not be that old. I don't think we know and probably won't ever know. And I'm not sure it is that important that we know.
