Well, I believe God created the universe and everything that holds it together, including time. So if he created time, than that means he existed before it. That being the case, you have to figure that "time" doesn't apply to him. So what is there that's left? Eternity. When God says in the bible "I Am" or when it is said that He is "from everlasting to everlasting" those are expressions used to denote that He is an eternal being. Yes, in other words, he's always existed. Sure, we can't fathom that, but logically it makes sense considering the parameters. If He is truly God in the full sense of the word, than He'd have to be before everything else, not to mention, more powerful and knowledgeable than anything or anyone else to be called supreme. So, when you ask, how old God is, you're using time as a point of reference, a component of the universe that applies to physical things like us humans, for instance. The bible is very clear that God is a Spirit.
If He was born from something, than that means that which brought him into being must be God. But then you'll have to question "well then, what was before that...and before that...and before that...". You run into a never-ending catch-22, but only if you think of God in terms of the sequence of "time", which he created. Again, if he created than it doesn't apply to him, because he existed before it. The very first line of the bible says..."In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth." Note that this mentions three parts of the universe "beginning" = time, "heaven" = space, "earth" = matter. "Heaven" and "earth" in this first verse, contrary to popular belief, is not refering to heaven where angels live nor earth the planet. If I'm not mistaken, the original Hebrew translates these two words as space and earth material...or matter.
Anyway, take your time to read this because I'm not the best articulator and I've babbled on too long...lol.

He is eternal, and is not old. Only physical beings (i.e., beings on earth) get wrinkly and aged because of the entrance of death into the world through Adam's sin.

Jesus would have to be no less than 14 billion, since He is the Creator. That would make the Father older, since Jesus is begotten.

I don't know, but he acts like a petulant 2 yr old with a sadistic streak through most of the old testament.
