If God is a God then he would hold the power to create something with age already existing in it. Whats the significance of the first miracle of Christ, turning water to wine, taking something that has no form, in this case, taste, and then aging it in a second, hints the aging process that has to occur for grape juice to ferment to the point to it can be called wine. Though all of this is absolutely nothing to you unless you believe in the bible.... good luck in searching for the truth.
*edit* Show me empirical evidence of the big bang, when it happened and what caused it, and how the universe went from nothing to everything that you see now, then i will consider putting more faith in it. It may be wierd to some, but from my limited understanding on the subject, it requires more faith beliveing in the unexplainable big bang, than beliving in some form of a creating god. It is not my mission to put "God" in the scientific channel, it's just my attempt at answering the question which has to do with creation. If you don't like my answer, know that no one is forceing you to like it. The last time i checked, every one is intittled to thier oppinions.

Amen, brother....Please keep God out of the science area, unless you have empirical evidence of His existence. Good luck with that!
Remember that the rate of expansion seems to be accelerating. The universe is expanding faster as it expands. Weird, I know. By calculating this backward, you might be able to get an idea when the big bang happened, but there is one problem with that. Most theories also include an "inflationary" period where the universe underwent much faster expansion that it is now---so it would be hard to make a linear track back to the beginning.
The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation may be our best clue to the age of the universe. This is radiation is spread throughout the universe and is very cool, something like 2.7 degrees above absolute zero (though that is it's blackbody spectrum, not really a temperature). Using this temperature as a guide, one can estimate the age of the universe because ever since the big bang, the universe hase been "cooling off" and measuring the rate of cooling is much more accurate than measuring the rate of expansion.
Here is a link that talks a lot about it:

Age/Rate of Expansion
I think, Math was never my best subject.
*edit* If the God is a God, I think he'd be capable of both metaphor, creating a system of laws to govern the universe that can be used to explain the behavior of everything so he wouldn't have to will every freakin particle, and honestly.. you'd think he wouldn't need an editor so bad.
So, yeah, unless you're talking about God every minute of every ******* day, you're a bad person. If you can't hold a conversation about Science without completely avoiding any attempt at an answer and just jump straight to 'Well God this!', you're going to hell.
Listen, I think about God and Science a lot. I think it's all pretty interesting and I'd like to understand the Universe the way God does. That's impossible, I realize, but that doesn't make it a bad goal!
Dazidly spouting some flowery crap about what the Bible said gets you no closer to any understanding of God. You already read it. You already know it. You already interperted it. Now take it a step further. Explain to me what you think about that wierd area between Science and religion and why you think God would work that way. Sure, you'll probably be wrong, but it's okay to be wrong! Being wrong grants us a greater understanding of the world around us.
Repeating the same crap over and over DOESN'T.
Of course, that should tell me to stop responding to you f***in lunatics. *spits fire*
FIND THE RELIGIOUS CHANNEL FOR CHRISSAKE.
I don't go there and talk Science. Know why? It's pointless! No one's going to read your half a paragraph about why the universe is really 6000 years old and be converted! If they were, you'd loose them to something else within a week!
