How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

Can anyone provide information on the scientific method used to determine that the earth is billions of years old? Thanks.
Yes. Most definitely. The following people can:

Neil deGrasse Tyson
Richard Dawkins

Steven Pinker
Matt Ridley
Carl Sagan
Peter Atkins
Robert Ardrey
Bill Nye, the Science Guy
Walter White aka Heisenberg

Exactly. Evolutionists insist the miracle of the big bang explains the sudden appearance of the universe from nothing and nowhere, thus refuting the Biblical account.

[Attributing the origin of life to spontaneous generation.] However improbable we regard this event, it will almost certainly happen at least once…. The time… is of the order of two billion years.… Given so much time, the “impossible” becomes possible, the possible probable, and the probable virtually certain. One only has to wait: time itself performs the miracles.

Nice quote! Evolutionary Biologists do not have to say anything about the big bang. They leave that to astrophysicists.

The whole evolution framework is built on the foundation of an origins myth that everyone knows is not a scientifically proven fact and nobody wants to discuss for the problems it builds into speculation defined as evolution theory.

1. Start with observations that can be reproduced in the lab today.

2. Apply unprovable assumptions

3. Employ WAG technique

4. Ignore inconvenient elements that disprove your assertion

5. PROFIT!
No. 3 is my favorite technique.
