Study Finds Universe Is 100 Million Years Older Than Previously Thought
skade88 writes "Reuters is reporting that scientists now say the universe is 100 million years older than previously thought after they took a closer look at leftover radiation from the Big Bang. This puts the age of the Universe at 13.8 billion years. The new findings are the direct results from analyzing data provided by the European Space Agency's Planck spacecraft. The spacecraft is providing the most detailed look to date at the remnant microwave radiation that permeates the universe. 'It's as if we've gone from a standard television to a high-definition television. New and important details have become crystal clear,' Paul Hertz, NASA's director of astrophysics, told reporters on a conference call."
I did not notice an increase in important details when upgrading to HDTV. Maybe I should get a better HDMI cable with more gold.
It says right here in my textbook tha God created the universe 13.7 billion years ago.
The universe is 100,006,000 years old!

Yeah, but only into Koine Greek bytecode, so it's kinda on the fence...

Does it come with working viewsceens, crew stations, a captains chair and a turbolift?
and a replicator?
The universe came into existence last Tuesday. You're almost as bad as the Last Mondayers, fucking heretics.
The good news is we now know the age of the universe. The bad news is that the warranty just expired.
Big Bang is only a theory. As far as I know it is the theory with the most number of followers so it is assumed to be truer than others.
I have a feeling the Deterministic school of thought which governs science is failing to answer the big questions. I am not saying the alternates available - religion and other other super natural stuff - is better, but we need a third model.
And until a new model is found, lets collectively gasp at da big bang!!!

Hi, This is a profound statement "The bible has to be interpreted differently than the plain meaning of the words...doesn't fit with modern understanding" The Bible will never fit with modern understanding. Modern understanding should fit wiuth the bible. The problem with science is that they are desperatly trying to get mankind away from scripture and base everything on our own understanding, which is the wrong approach. The bible will never make sense to the average man (worldly person) it is a manual for the christian like when you by a pc or motherboard you get a manual with it. The average person dowsn't undersatand it. To say the universe is millions of years old is rediculous...they also said the earth was flat at one stage...think about that. The bible was documented way before scientist even existed. Ask yourself: why dont we have any books, scrolls, or documents dating back 1million years or 500,000 years, not even 50,000 years...the oldest documentation we know of dates back about +-7000 years, strange hey, evolutionists are trying to brainwash everyone, and they are doing a great job of it, especialy with naieve nations like America and Europe. Please take some time to study other material and not just man's theories. What does God think of this? Ask Him. It will solve all your problems look at: http://www.infrabyte.com/?p=12 to see how they get to this age
