The United States of America Geological Survey has it figured out and it is not breaking news.
What the electorate stated in 2012 is that we are not interested in iconic morons in the Executive Branch.
The ages of Earth (click here) and Moon rocks and of meteorites are measured by the decay of long-lived radioactive isotopes of elements that occur naturally in rocks and minerals and that decay with half lives of 700 million to more than 100 billion years to stable isotopes of other elements. These dating techniques, which are firmly grounded in physics and are known collectively as radiometric dating, are used to measure the last time that the rock being dated was either melted or disturbed sufficiently to rehomogenize its radioactive elements.
Ancient rocks exceeding 3.5 billion years in age are found on all of Earth's continents. The oldest rocks on Earth found so far are the Acasta Gneisses in northwestern Canada near Great Slave Lake (4.03 Ga) and the Isua Supracrustal rocks in West Greenland (3.7 to 3.8 Ga), but well-studied rocks nearly as old are also found in the Minnesota River Valley and northern Michigan (3.5-3.7 billion years), in Swaziland (3.4-3.5 billion years), and in Western Australia (3.4-3.6 billion years)....
Okay, so Rubio ADMITS he is not a scientist. He is not an MD, he is not a physicist, he is not a woman best we all know, he is not a laborer, he is not a Castro exile immigrant, he is no longer a Mormon since moving out of Las Vegas to Miami, so what! His excuse as a USA Senator for not knowing the USA government absolutely has proof of the age of Earth is that he is not a Scientist? People vote for this? Why? The man holds federal office and can't get out of his own way in knowing what the federal government already knows?
Everyone knows Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio has been a so called "Dream Team" for the Executive Branch. We all know that. So we all should be threatened and be preoccupied with this mess? They are out there looking for money. That is new for the GOP? They are always looking for money.
The age of the Earth is NOT a theory and if Rubio wants to be Veep to Jeb's Prez, then he needs to realize the nukes they'll hold near and dear to their heart has a scientific understanding of HALF LIFE. Now, if Rubio accepts the USA has nuclear weapons with materials with a half-life then the argument the age of Earth is a theory is OVER. It is very, very over. If he wants to pander politically to old, white guys, he might want to ask how many will kick the bucket by 2016.
Come 2016 Rubio will run for the Veep Stakes for the same reason Ryan did, to maintain the office he already holds.
“I’m not a scientist, man,” (click here) Rubio, a member of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, said. “I can tell you what recorded history says; I can tell you what the Bible says; but I think that’s a dispute amongst theologians, and I think it has nothing to do with the gross domestic product or economic growth of the United States.”
