This would be a great argument toward a creator. Those bible writers would be considered a layman to an extreme degree considering the technology at their time. As we know they were all completely different and from different times. So if those men came to a conclusion that was considered wrong until proven fact by
science thousands of years later, would that not imply that they had help from someone who knew much more than they did?

I was simply trying to show Rob that I didn't believe the universe was only thousands of years old. I also stated that I was unsure how old it was. By your post it is at least 13B years old. I find that informative not something contrary to what I believe. I imagine as technology continues to improve we will find that the universe is even older than that. Again, none of us know how old it
could be.
