It isn't. Creationism is based on religion, not science. :)

You should check this out:

From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_universe

"... [the age of] the universe is 13.75 ±0.17 billion years old."

This level of accuracy is recent. When I was a kid I remember my Dad telling me that the Universe was estimated to be somewhere between 10-20 billion years. Science is amazing.

Why do you necessarily need to make all of your links have link text?

It's more proffesional.  :P

Dan, actually, I read in the Astronomy that something like "20 years ago, we thought it was 7-20 billion years old". Or something... idk

I don't think so, both are professional (that's a hard word to spell, so I let it slide, but now you know.)

You believe crazy things. 6000 years is impossible.

Yeah. I know.
No, I am not your language teacher.
