How do you know the universe is 14 billion years old?
How do police investigate a traffic accident even though they didn't see it? CLUES!
It is the same principle as using a tape measure, except in the case of age, it is using the measurement of the speed of light and the time it travels. That allows us to look back in time.
FYI when you see the sun in the sky, you are looking into the past. It takes time for a photon to leave the sun and reach our planet. Knowing the age of the universe is simply using more data points at longer distances.
The same way cops can determine the cause of an accident through measuring where the impact happened, weight of the vehicles involved and where they end up tells them the speed.
"You were not there" Is a very childish ignorant argument and utter bullshit.
If Homicide investigators thought like that, we'd never catch murderers.
OH AND we also have COSMIC BACKGROUND MICROWAVE RADIATION, on top of being able to measure the speed of light.
CLUES can be misinterpreted, you act as if homicide investigators are never wrong.

which is it?
