And you forgot the usage of spectroscopy to determine the distance of far away stars, and also their element content.
The farther away, the oldest, the simpler the elements present in the star.

unified theory?... hmmm... CERN is working on it.. and it seems the Higgs is an actual particle thus connecting electro-weak force to gravity.

String theory is just as likely to be wrong as Quantum Chromodynamics before it. Everything Hawking has worked on could be totally wrong.

Look up stellar metalicity and geochronology. That is all 50 year old solid science. And watch religiosity. And visit the grand canyon visitor's center and reread the story of Noah. Anyone can see the truth if they open their eyes.Really?
Are you hinting that the grand canyon was carved by the flood? oh boy... -.-'

Because theists ask questions regarding the gaps of knowledge...
In the olden times, they would ask about lightning, but nowadays... they force us to get the newest results available... and even those aren't enough.
It happens that, sometimes, an "I don't know" is the only honest answer we've got.
