>always existed Really? The Earth is only 4.6 billion years old, while the Universe is about 14, and life on Earth is much younger. |

We can't be exactly sure on the age of the Universe, after all humanity hasn't been around for very long

| I see why people can't take OT seriously now. It's estimated to be about 14 billion years old you dumb pleb. |

Lol, Kitty is trying to be smart.
We all know ponies couldn't have been around since before the earth or the universe began, genius. What the guy was merely stating was that there was never any doubt about the existence of ponies to begin with.
You are annoying. |

Until recently, astronomers estimated that the Big Bang occurred between 12 and 14 billion years ago. To put this in perspective, the Solar System is thought to be 4.5 billion years old and humans have existed as a genus for only a few million years. Astronomers estimate the age of the universe in two ways: 1) by looking for the oldest stars; and 2) by measuring the rate of expansion of the universe and extrapolating back to the Big Bang; just as crime detectives can trace the origin of a bullet from the holes in a wall.

1 how do they know how old a star is 2 how does knowing where it started help find out when it started |

Again "estimated" "about" "12-14 billion years" 2 billion years is a long time what the guy said is "exactly" sure, not what we "estimate" it to be. |

| Ask an astronomer/ astrophysicist, not me. Here's a copy and paste from Wikipedia, "Various methods and tools are involved in stellar age estimation, an attempt to identify within reasonable degrees of confidence what the age of a star is. These methods include stellar evolutionary models, membership in a given star cluster or system, fitting the star with the standard spectral and luminosity classification system, and the presence of a protoplanetary disk, among others. Nearly all of the methods of determining age require knowledge of the mass of the star, which can be known through various methods. No individual method can provide accurate results for all types of stars.[1]" |

I don't think there is anything wrong with exaggerating within reason. Do you? |

| That wasn't within reason as there were many billions of years where they didn't exist. |

| I don't even think Kitty knows what he is talking about. He is just copy-pasting everything he is saying. |
