Multiple sources over YEARS of reports have tended to
give the same average value: 12 billion years for the
age of the universe.
The latest data from May to Sept 1999 says:
May 1999 - CNN articles of interviews with Wendy Freedman
who headed the key project team working with the
Hubble Space Telescope. Wendy Freedman said their
study over 8 years showed the universe age to be
estimable at 12 billion years.
Sep 1999 - CNN article showing the type 1a supernova
non-zero vacuum energy density term raising the
age estimates to a 13.5 billion year universe.
Another CNN article discussed a 15% error in the
intensity of the stars measured which then shows
a younger universe. Specifically:
13.5 Byr * (1-0.15)^1/2 = 12.4 Byr
Basically, it's right back to 12 billion years.
Past data over YEARS have showed the age estimates for
old vs. young universe estimates centering at 12 billion.
Also gravity simulations showed the old vs. young universe
effects to vanish once gravity is taken into account.
And with regards to the Genesis TIMING matches:
====================================================
The Genesis account is essentially dealing directly
with our solar system formation. Our solar system is
within the Milky Way galaxy so the LIGHTER elements
originally making up our solar system would have the
same age as our galaxy. The Hiparcos satellite data
for our galaxy also shows a 12 billion year age.
====================================================
God made it all, Jesus died for our sins.
