In reality, facts are the observations.
Also, the expansion of the universe is [accelerating]. This is what the data shows us. It isn't hypothetical
Or maybe it didn't.
My Comment: I see this reasoning as faulty. Let’s say that we see a car that is accelerating. If we can measure the rate of acceleration and its current speed, we can estimate the time the car started. Right?
Wrong! The reasoning is based on a faulty premise: the idea that we are dealing with a driverless car. The moment we detect a driver inside the vehicle, both our estimate and conclusion become meaningless.
This is the problem with these godless scientific studies. We assume that there is no one in charge of the universe. The moment we alter our premise, we are forced to recognize that there is no way to estimate the age of the universe.
Besides, all we can see as we observe the distant stars and galaxies is the past and what took place millions and billions of years ago. There is no way for us to observe what is taking place there today because it takes a long time for the light from those celestial objects to get to our planet
