FYI, Dear Sister in Christ, our best, current estimate of the age of the universe (measured from our [earth-based] space/time coordinates using WMAP data) is

13.77 ± 0.059 billion years...

Some researchers (using other methods) extend it to 13.82 BY -- but that is still within the tolerances given above.

~~~~~~~~~~~

But, from the inception space-time coordinates, (God's viewpoint) it is still

Six of our Creator's "workdays"...

Indeed! Thank you so much for the specifics, dear brother in Christ!

Though this seems a paradox, it actually stands to reason, knowing what we know from solid scientific data. From the human standpoint, the former age estimate is an opportunity for a "lookback," specifically back to the divine origin — and as you have found, there is an extraordinarily interesting history of how God's Creation evolved from that "in the beginning." Yet whichever age you believe, both are premised in an "ex nihilo" creation. Time began, and before that, there was no time; space began, and before that, there was no space.

Surely every Christian knows that what God sees, and what humans see, can never be the same. Yet He rules over all Creation, from Alpha to Omega and every when and where in between, according to His Logos — His Word of the Beginning. In scientific language, this is called "the Singularity."

Thank you ever so much, dear brother In Christ, for taking an opportunity to help us understand what relativistic time is here.
