Time dilation and space flight
Time dilation would make it possible for passengers in a fast-moving vehicle to
travel further into the future while aging very little, in that their great speed slows down the rate of passage of on-board time. That is,
the ship's clock (and according to relativity, any human traveling with it)
shows less elapsed time than the clocks of observers on earth. For sufficiently high speeds the effect is dramatic. For example, one year of travel might correspond to ten years at home. Indeed, a constant 1 g acceleration
would permit humans to travel through the entire known Universe in one human lifetime. The space travelers could
return to Earth billions of years in the future.
A scenario based on this idea was presented in the novel
Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle.

Time Dilation
Physical time stops elapsing at the speed of light. The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower physical time elapses. Albert Eisenstein's, scientifically proven, 'Theory of Relativity', Time Dilation.
Solve for time since Day One of Creation, aka the Big Bang.
It is the future and you captain on a star ship freighter, that can do near the speed of light. You "
travel through the entire known Universe in one human lifetime" as Wikipedia Time Dilation definition describes. Traveling at near the speed of light, you travel 100,000 billion light years, during your 40 years as a star ship captain. A light year is the distance light travels in one earth orbit around the sun. When you come back to earth, 100,000 billion years will have passed on earth (which has remained constant at its present day velocity) during your 40 years of near light speed traveling.
So, the question becomes, how many years from God's Day One of Creation, aka the Big Bang, is it now? Is it now 100,013.8 billion years from Creation? Or is it now 13.8 billion years + your 40 years of life (traveling at near the speed of light), from Creation? Or is it, that there is no such thing as 'amount of time' from Creation, because physical time is a variable which depends on velocity; or in Einstein's words, 'Relative'. Thus we can only rely on God's Word, for the period since His Creation of all that exists.
