Think the poor fool has parroted the phrase "ad hominem" so much here it escapes his attention that there's really no more questioning of Evolution in the civilized world , only in his imaginary one . Its already been posted here that even the Vatican now admits openly there's only the largest growing evidence for the theory coming in from all science disciplines across the board . Even they bow to the greater body of evidence for natural selection & common descent . Most sane & moderate Christians do as well , except for the luantic fringe posting here & sidekicks . If he wishes to think of some magical intervention fine he's certainly free to point all the examples of when & where or be silent . Same goes for the other fools for if there is a problem with scientism its only the fact that 98% of the time science ends up getting it right in the end . Just so abrasive , must really chaff some egos that have so little to say or be right about & keep falling farther & farther behind the curve . In his case its just permanently wandering lost in the valley of shadows for lack of the honesty or sincerity to know the millions of new facts discovered or new facts as they come onto the scene . Like late term abortions that he wails on & on about that are hardly a blip of a percent of all abortions in reality en.wikipedia.org US stats

As you Link concedes the age of the universe is estimated by hyper extrapolating back in time from the current expansion rate of the universe. It's you that is unable to answer the questions or defend your assumptions. "Astronomers estimate the age of the universe in two ways: 1) by looking for the oldest stars; and 2) by measuring the rate of expansion of the universe and extrapolating back to the Big Bang; just as crime detectives can trace the origin of a bullet from the holes in a wall."
