I have a question for you: How do you look into the night sky, see the stars, know that the nearest one is 4.4 light years away: and not know that the universe operates the same now as it did in the past?

The parallax of nearby stars can be measured by observing them from opposite points in Earth's orbit around the sun. The star's true distance from Earth can then be precisely calculated through straightforward triangulation.
Once the true distance is known, an exact value for the star's intrinsic brightness can be calculated. Knowing a star's intrinsic brightness is a fundamental prerequisite to estimating its age.
Are you saying that their calculations are wrong?
What is it exactly that you believe? I'd rather not build a case against an unknown opinion. How old is the earth in your opinion, and how do you explain all of our observable universe through your 'unobserved' proposition? Or are you just saying no one was there, therefore no one can know?
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
