Re: how old
in material/physical sense, both religious and scientific answers are the same. NOTHING
then, where does God fit in ?
Re: how old
The answer is God
Why do you say that?
Re: how old
what does it matter what do i think. it is a accepted scientific fact and they have numbers for both of the dates.
Southie: there is no dates mentioned in ramayana, it follows a yug system and current yug i.e. kalyug is supposed to last 4.2 billion years according to some calculations.
My question is what was there before the birth of universe?
Kaka - my reference to Ramayana to guess the age of the Universe was tongue in cheek. In school I remember reading Ramayana was 8000 yrs old, and Mahabharatha 5000 years old. Does the yug system tell us how many yrs ago kaliyug started.
As for how old the Universe really is, I am sure we can google it and get the dates. The fun was in estimating based on what we remembered from reading earlier I guess.
Learnt something new though - did not know kaliyug lasts 4.3 billion yrs. Neat stuff. (same order of mag as age of the earth)
