They don't say 14 billion. Some may round it off to 14 billion but most don't. The age of the universe to 4 significant figures is known to be 13.72 billion years. The value calculated from the Hubble constant (which isn't exactly constant) is 20 billion years. Since that value was first calculated there have been many advances that refined the value to 13.72. I suggest you get your mommy to get a good book on the age of the universe and read it to you.

I very well know that I was rounding. I didn't know the exact decamal so I rounded does it really make a difference? My arguement still stands.

You have no argument (learn to spell you ignorant christoholic) chiapet, your JAQing off in public but my recommendation still stands.
