"14.5 billion yrs? I thought it was 13.7 billion years. Then again, Gamow said it was 20 billion yrs. So I guess it's eeny, meeny, miny, moe..."
More accurately, I have through the years seen such estimations as 10 billion ya; 12 billion ya; 12.5 billion ya; 13.7 billion ya; 14.5 billion ya, and Gamow's number of 20 billion ya.
Are you impressed with such accuracy? They obviously used the latest technological advancement in sundials:

Somehow, we lowly creationists are supposed to believe this....uh, at least one of them. Take your pick. But let me illustrate the gravity of the problem evolutionists have in their theories of the age of our cosmos;
The reader walks into a state police station near Omaha and asks, "How far is it to St.Louis?" So one officer tells you, "Oh about 300 miles." Another down the hall tells you, "about 225 miles". Yet another tells you, "It's about 500 miles". Lastly the officer at the front desk tells you,"It's 750 miles". Ridiculous? Yes. But stranger things have happened including the stellar astronomers conclusion about the age of our universe...by many magnitudes of ridiculousness. It's as if none of them even grasp what it means to change the age even a billion yrs let alone on a scale of 4,5,7, or even10 billion yrs. The credibility goes down every time they declare a different age 'according to measurement.'
Imagine trying to operate in a world of such 'certainty' that today a yardstick is 36 inches, but tomorrow it is 38.7 inches, and the day after that it's 34 inches, and yet still the next day it's 40 inches. In the real world respect for the authorities(i.e. the National Institute of Standards and Technology USA) who establish such measurements would be lost very quickly.
But just today I came across another winner. You all know that we've been told by stellar evolutionists that black holes exist. We've been told that those black holes have a gravitational pull that is so strong that not even light cannot escape when it crosses over a black holes 'event horizon'. Below is illustrated the black hole at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy:

But if what we're told is true then how is it that there is a plume of lighted gases shooting 27 million light yr above and below from the center of our galaxy, per the recent news report I posted below:

This artist's conception shows an edge-on view of the Milky Way galaxy. Newly discovered gamma-ray jets (pink) extend for 27,000 light-years above and below the galactic plane, and are tilted at an angle of 15 degrees.

So if NOTHING can escape the massive gravitational pull of a black hole then how is the above phenomenon possible? And most of you know that this is by no means the only example. Just Google AOL image page on galaxies or black holes and you will find many such jets of light and gas doing the same thing. Where is therefore, the credibility in giving us facts that are completely contradictory to each other?
