Interesting hypothesis - some scientists believe that our current Homo Sapiens civilization is not a first intelligent life form which inhabited Earth.
In fact Earth is billions old rock and we had many life cycles during that time.
Species were born and died, we could had even multiple nuclear holocausts caused by 'humans from before time' and total revitalization of the whole planet...

How old do you think Earth is? Why?

Ok it's not a question of thinking or whatever. You've got two choices, denying physic reality or accepting it.
Unless laws of physics have been clearly EXTREMELY different, the earth is something like 4.5 billions year old.

And it's not a question of guessing we KNOW it, simply thanks to radioactivity studies!

It can be older than what every body think it is.
Nobody really knows.
It is one of earth's many mysterties that science can not be sure of since they have been wrong in the past with how old things are before.

As i wasn't there to see its birth i dunno. The odds of it being more than 6000 years old are really really high imo.

Google suggest that earth is about 4.543 billion years old which is a good educated guess. Theres a lot of work goes into deciding this by using radiation half lives and all that sort of thig to decide on the age (best to google this for yourself . But should you want to take a completely made up uneducated guess that goes against everything we've learned so far then the answer is 6-10 thousand years.

To answer your question i would go with my first answer because i dont believe in fairy tales.

How old do you think Earth is? Why?

Consensus among scientists from different fields of studies says that the age of the Earth is 4.54 ± 0.05 billion years.
But it's not that I "think", you cannot "guess" the age of the world. You need evidence. it's the result of measures done by hundreds of scientists, with hundreds of experiments. And they are all consistent with each other (minus the margin of error stated before).

How old do you think Earth is? Why?

Are you interesting in religious or scientific answer?
If you literally believe Bible, answer is about 6 000 years.
If you believe science, answer is about 7 billion years.
You can research about it much more on Internet, specially on Wikipedia.
