Would it really make any real and practical difference to your life if it is was:
54750000000
5475000000
547500000, or even
5475 years old?
The answer is no. Nowadays, if we want to know the age of the earth or universe, we ask a geophysics or astronomer.
What would make a difference is not allowing your mind to be drawn into pointless theological arguments where it is tied up in knots. A friend called it "bubble gum for the mind" ... that is something to chew on incessantly but at the same time providing no nourishment. Every religion has a slightly different flavor but all their creation myths are all bubble gum.
I am suggesting you focus on the practical elements of your life, where you will create your happiness and security, and give up the habit of belief.The first question to ask is,
What relevance does any of this have on my life?
If it has any, and I cannot see any, the second where is their evidence for such a proposal?
They have none, so avoid them and their way of thinking. Probably the sages were just smoking ganga, got sick of people asking them how old the world was, so they made up a number ...
and each school made up a different[/] ... to shut people up.
If you want to play a religious figure in life, join some tradition that will at least feed you and house you when you get old. It really does not matter which one. The trouble with the Brahma Kumaris is that they are structured like an irresponsible and deceptive "pyramid scheme" whose collapse they hope will be prevented by mass war and destruction of society.
A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves promising participants payment or services, primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, rather than supplying any real investment or sale of products or services to the public.

This is how it works, it's all down to charimsa or personal energy. One stronger person (Lekhraj Kirpalani), [i]or one person possessed by a spook, has the power to convert a weaker person (Om Radhe). Two people can then work together to covert a 3rd person ... 3 people have the power to convert 2 weaker people ... 5 people can convert 4 people ... 9 people can convert 8 people ... 17 people have the power to convert 16 weaker people ... 33 people have the power to convert 32 weaker ones ... 65 people have the power to convert 64 weaker ones ... 129 people have the power to convert 128 weaker ones working in groups ... and so very quickly the numbers can build up until it hits a kind of critical mass we call the 100th Monkey Effect and all of society knows about it.
This dominance by personal power or charisma is typically seen when the false tower of belief of a BK follower starts to wobble and they question The Knowledge or the BKWSU system, and they are sent to a more powerful person or sometimes 'two' in interview, e.g. a Dadi and a Didi or a center-in-charg and their silent assistant, and dominated again to keep them in order. It's equally true of 'group energy' power, when a new or weak believer is sent to a bigger center, retreat or Madhuban to be tuned up to believe what they are being told.
Share beliefs are merely tools of group identity used by group leaders to control and separate their flocks. The Jews believe this, the Christians and BKs that ... it means nothing but "who do you want to be fleeced by?" ("fleeced means, "have your wealth and power taken by someone else"). Religious leaders 'farm' their followers like a farmer farms their sheep, chickens and cows.
Answer me this ... "what are you, a sheep, a chicken or a bullock, or a man?"
