You suppose there are people who don't want us to know the age of the universe?

But we DO know, it's 6000 years old, and if you disagree, you are a godless atheist who will rot in the underworld for all eternity!!

If science disagrees with religious doctrine, then science had better find a way to come to the RIGHT answer, for there will be H#ll to pay otherwise, you godless communists.

I have a lot more skepticizm about people who say the universe is 13 billion years old, than I do people who say it is 6000 years old.

The problem is that a lot of these same people who say the universe is 13 billion years old are the ones who are now saying... "Gee, Pluto isn't doing what we thought it would be doing".

Really, the idea the the government pays people with tax dollars to guess about the makeup of dark holes, and multiple dimenisons, and the age of the universe, and all that cosmic stuff..... well... it's not where I would allocate the funds.

Some of the people saying the universe is 13 billion years old are the same ones that were circulating the amazing photos of the cone nebula a couple of years back. Truly stunning photos of deep space, until we realized it was colorized and enhanced according to one's imagination.
