Everyone of all faiths or non-faiths - quick poll. How old is the universe?

13.7 billion years, current red shift estimate, Jehovah's Witness

That age is not out of harmony with the Bible. Genesis 1:1 just states who created the universe, without any time link. Even the remaining verses use a term that can be applied to eras, not a literal 24 hour day.

Last I knew someplace near 14 billion years old in its current form (IE since the big bang) but there is some suggestion its always existed in some way shape or form or at least existed well before then, we can't definitely say so at the moment.

This is based on the best understanding of available evidence we have at the moment at the last time i bothered to check. Non-religious

According to Astrophysicist Rodney Holder, the universe is 13.7 billions years old, and it needs to be this old and as vast as it it to have life anywhere. Life on Earth (life anywhere) couldn’t exist without all those one hundred thousand million other galaxies. From the book, God, the Big Bang & bunsen-burning issues (page 170).

~13.8 billion years; that's what the observable evidence shows; nonreligious.

Ed: Of course, some cosmological models suggest the universe may have always existed, but the evidence is that 13.8 billion years have passed since the Big Bang.

13 3/4 billion years.

Former RC now atheist.

7 years old

Keyword here is "observable".... That would be 13.8 billion years based on "red shift". Beyond that 13.8 billion years the light could never reach and is speeding away perhaps faster than the speed of light.

According to the Bible, the universe is (get this) only about 3000 to 6000 years old!!

13.75 billion years - from current cosmological and astronomical models. Non religious.

only God knows
