How far back do Galaxies go back?
Since GOD is infinite so is the Universe...
The Solar System has billions of stras and planets that go on and on..
Apparently there is now wyt to measure how old the Universe is..
God promises us that in the perfect world, we will get to explore his universe for eternity so we will never run out of wonderful miraculous things to do...
Thoughts?

about 14.7 billion years old.
EDIT: oops Kjelstad is right. I'm off by a billion.

Wow. That's a lot of misinformation.
"Since Sicence cannot dertermine how old the Universe is..."
Says who? The universe is about 13.7 billion years old.
"Because it is infinite as GOD is?"
It may be infinite in the future (if it suffers heat death), but it does not have an infinite past. As noted above, it is less than 14 billion years old.
"How far back do Galaxies go back?"
A little more than 13 billion years.
"Since GOD is infinite so is the Universe...
The Solar System has billions of stras and planets that go on and on.."
The Solar System is the system of planets that revolve around Sol, Earth's sun. There are nine official planets and one star in the solar system.
"Apparently there is now wyt to measure how old the Universe is.."
Sure there is. It's called the Lambda-CDM model, and it is used to determine the age of the universe by comparing the relative quantities of various types of energy in the universe. The predictions made by the L-CDM are supported by measurements of the red shift of distant quasars.

Since Sicence cannot dertermine how old the Universe is...Because it is infinite as GOD is?
-Huh?
How far back do Galaxies go back?
- until a few hundred millions years after the big bang I would suppose.
The Solar System has billions of stras and planets that go on and on..
-- The solar system has one star - the sun.
Apparently there is now wyt to measure how old the Universe is..
-- Why do you say that? How can I take you seriously knowing that you said the solar system has billions of stars?

Sweetheart, I don't want to be rude, but scientists do know precisely how old the universe is, 13.7 Billion years, last time I checked. The universe is not infinite and is currently expanding. Galaxies are younger than the universe and have various ages. The solar system has only one star, the Sun, and nine planets (including Pluto, which some say is not a planet). Carl Sagan wrote a wonderful book for laymen called "Cosmos," which was also made into a PBS series, of the same name. If you enjoy thinking about such things, "Cosmos" is a great read.

1) About 13 billion years.
2) The universe is not infinite.
3) You have not provided evidence for a god.
4) No, the solar system has 1 star and 8 planets. Maybe you're thinking of the galaxy? Big difference.
5) Yep. Look up WMAP.

Wha...?
There is a way to measure how old the universe is: around 15 billion years. And the Solar System has exactly 1 star, called Sol (aka the Sun), and 8 planets.
Have you by any chance completed elementary school yet?

The universe is about 15 billion years old. We don't have an exact figure, but we know the approximates and the bounds. It can not be younger than 12 billion, nor can it be older than 20.
For various reasons, the universe can not be infinite in time or space. Research Olber's Paradox (Google works well) and others.

Actually Science (I'm not sure about sicence) can give us a very good idea of the age of the universe.
Look up red shift and cosmic background radiation.
Wow, thats some promise!!

My thoughts are that you have NO IDEA what you are saying.
Solar Systems do not have BILLIONS OF STRAS and planets that go on and on ...
Where does God promise us anything like becoming astronauts?

"Most current studies reveal that the age of the earth is very young. This coincides with Biblical Creation. The earth is no more than 6,000 years old. "
Cite ONE that has been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

Scientists are playing a guessing game. They are constantly in disagreement among themselves regarding the actual age of the universe.
