We pretty confident in the age of the Earth and have been pretty confident in its age for quite some time if you asked 20 scientists they will all give you pretty much the same answer. I don't know where you're getting this belief that the age of the Earth is in debate.
I cannot speak to the quality of the documentaries you're watching since you don't actually list them.
But I can assure you we are extremely confident we know the age of the Earth. In fact we have known the age of the Earth with high confidence longer than we've known age of the universe that contains it.
The ages of various life forms on the earth are much more nebulous but the age of the actual rock that makes the planet up, is known.
Go look it up. This is known stuff. It isn't a guess it's based on evidence.
Oh well if you're "pretty sure" then I won't argue with you.
After all, you have a feeling on the subject. Don't bother to look it up or anything. Remaining deliberately uninformed is so much more appealing doing a quick Google search.
