Now how in the world can they know the approximate age of the universe? Unless the earth is the very center of the universe wouldn’t that be impossible to measure?

It’s based on the expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble Constant. If you know how fast it is expanding, it’s simple to calculate how long it took for things to travel as far as they have, based on their distance from us. The earth doesn’t have to be at the center of it all, since all points are expanding away equally from all others. Theoretically.

They were there. Else its just a guesstimate based on assumptions to fit their current theories. But they sound very intelligent ...
