Yes I saw that about the fungus that grew on the wheat that year because it was a wet year and that caused the "possessions". People are deeply superstitious.

But....about the age of the universe. They are determining the age by judging the rate of expansion of the universe now and then the "observed" extent of the expansion to this day. I'm sure they also take into account that it expanded faster at first and then slowed. But they only have observation now to go by. They don't know how fast it expanded at first and how quickly it slowed. They assume a steady deceleration. But what if the universe started expanding at near infinity and slowed suddenly? That can only happen if there is an outside force at work and that would have to be a powerful outside force, possibly God! Then the time from the big bang to our present state could be very short, maybe a day? Six more days to go!

Steven Hawking said in A Brief History of Time that the universe itself proves that there has to be an outside force that made the universe and that outside force had to be intelligent and greater than the universe. The reason is that that the universe always goes from order to disorder, never from disorder to order. Therefore the physical laws and the structure of the universe could never have happened by chance. Order never creates itself in this universe. The order that we see had to have been created by an outside force.

So a big bang...near infinite expansion for a short time then a sudden near stopping of the expansion is just as plausible as a steady expansion from the first milisecond because a powerful, intelligent outside force can do what it wants.....

Also what about the missing mass?? 80% of the mass of the univers is unaccounted for. What does that mean? Well, science can calculate the force of gravity at work in the universe and science knows how much mass is required to cause that level of gravitational pull. But 80% of that required mass can't be seen although it HAS to be there because the gravitational action is there. So they theorized about "dark matter"; 80% of the universe has to be unseen dark matter because it has to be there. My point is that there is more we don't know than we know.
