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?
OMG are you dense!
IT CAN BE BOTH, just like simple middle school math. Draw a finite line, and you can STILL have an infinite number of integers BETWEEN those points.
GROW UP, we are not going to fall for the childish god of the gaps garbage.
"AH HA, you don't know so therefor ALLAH!" "AH HA, you don't know so therefor Vishnu".
OH WHAT, now that doesn't work for you?
We are finite and the universe doesn't need us or care about us nor is it a product of a factory boss. I am sorry that bothers you but that is your baggage not ours. That was then this is now. Your fictional sky hero is not needed to explain anything. Saying "you don't know everything" does not require clinging to old mythology, otherwise Thor really does explain lightening.
A super cognition IS NOT REQUIRED to explain shit. The only thing making such claims prove is your wishful thinking and gullibility.
