We found a rock 4.5 billion years old. We tested it with our own eyes applying the known laws of nature, the same laws that everyone agrees drive the universe. We also found rocks of that age on the moon. When you can explain how a 4.5 billion year old rock managed to get on the oldest celestial body in the universe, earth, which is only 6,000 years old, you'll have something. To date, your explanations for that rock are laughably dumb.

The "rock" was created as mature as the rest of the planet. Problem solved.
You don't get it do, you? Radiometric dating is grounded in circular reasoning. The only way we can know for certain if this planet is really 4.5 billion years old is to compare the age of this planet with an earth that is not mature and functional.
And by the way, how can earth be the oldest celestial body in the universe when the universe is far older than the earth and, presumably, our entire solar system? What about other galaxies? Would they not be much older than a mere 4.5 billion years?
