On September 25, 2005, this was published on APOD (Astronomy Picture Of the Day):
"Specifically, present analyses of the above WMAP all-sky image indicate that the universe is 13.7 billion years old (accurate to 1 percent)..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The data published in this (Scientists See Light that May Be from First Objects in Universe, NASA, Nov 2, 2005) article are a refinement on the above WMAP data.

IMO, (to parapharse General Honore), those of you who are stuck on "I'm the most important creature in the Universe, therefore God's 'day' must equal my (earthly) day" should spend a few hours reviewing the APOD archives -- before you refer to thoughtful Christians and millions of scientists as "unwise"...
LOL! "paraphrase"...
LOL!
MY God does ALL that He states.
Too bad, if you have a "god" he cannot.
Again, professing to be wise, you are a fool.
Never mind about the faulting dating and age methods used ... believe what you wish!
Taking the foolish word of man over God, is MOST UNWISE.
