Answer 16

Below is a link with various maps of the continental breakups.  Initially the continents were all connected and the continent was called Pangaea.  Over the millions of years the continents changed more and more---the maps show you what it looked like, there is a name given to the maps which I am not sure if it represents an era, and the approx. age, but I think that it is safe to assume that we are over 220 million years old

Answer 17

Just a wee bit older than john MCCAIN'T!!!

Answer 18

No one really knows, its all theory. Religious ppl state about 6-10,000 years according to the bible, they don't believe dinosaurs are as old as they make out, basically the dating methods are inaccurate.

Scientists, use things like red shift, expanding universe theories to try and prove it. Who really knows, none of us where there, so we really can only guess. I have heard debates on both sides. Personally i stay away from questions that cannot be answered without evidence to back it up.
