Well put. Still, to me, the age of the Universe seems a theory on a less solid foundation than that of biological evolution. For instance, we make assumptions that physical constants have remained so, that gravitational information travels at c, and that the Universe went through an inflationary stage. I'd honestly be surprised if the estimated age of the universe doesn't get significantly adjusted in the future.

100% agree. I think it is more likely that biological evolution is a universal than it is that our understanding of the Big Bang won't change considerably (and with it perhaps the age of the universe).the age of the Universe seems a theory on a less solid foundation than that of biological evolution
