It only looks 13 billion years old if you assume it all big banged from the same spot..... observation tells you nothing about how the universe started. It is assumptions based on observation that produce a theory.
Man still measures things as it relates to him, not to God. We are limited by the speed of light ( or so we think ).
The redshift method used to measure astronomical distances is based on the speed of light as we know it.
I do not think God lied about it the people who translated did not translate correctly. If one reads the first creation in the book of Genesis and in the Sumerian Tablets the time taken between acts of creation were not spelled out, the words means time passed. The second creation in the second book of Genesis where Adam and Eve were the prime subjects does not conform to the first creation so there must have been many, many years that passed before modern humans were brought to the fold as I see creation the story of Adam and Eve is the story of the start of modern humans and not the creation of the universe which is told in the first creation in Genesis.
There was darkness, a void, and nothing; Then came the light (a big bang that overruled all the laws of physics of the present know universe) and there was light. In the first trillionth of a second the expansion occupied a space the size of the solar system (or there about) of what is now called space, which is in violation of all laws, as we know them. And ALL the matter we see today was created from something smaller than an atom. Do not know anyone else who could do this but a supreme being.
But then that is just my humble opinion. But it is my opinion that God created humans as it is written in all ancient texts not just the first book of Moses, Genesis.
