Actually, according to the Bible, light was created before the sun, moon and stars.
However, as for the age of the universe, I defer to science which gives a range that is constantly changing as our methods and understanding grow. There is more to life than we can conceive and humility is lacking on both “sides” of the debate.
The Bible was never meant as a definitive science text, and modern science has become as hide-bound as their caricature of the medieval Catholic Church.
There was something before light
There was something that communicated: “Let there be light”
John 1 says “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
John compares Christ to the first light that flashed into the beginning of the Universe
Science has yet to explain the Word (information) that directed the light
