:::It's biased towards an Old Earth point of view, or it was before I removed the biased content.  The "big science" point of view is Old Earth as well, which is why the article is being considered for revision. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 21:25, 24 November 2009 (EST)

::: "Big science"? Really that just means scientific consensus.  As for the age of the young star cluster, I cannot find a source for that age, however virtually all stars except T-Tauri stars that are still forming are at least millions of years in age, but whatever I can accept the age reference to them being removed, it isn't important. Scientists do not just "come up" with these numbers out of the blue based on some bias, it is out of peer reviewed research based on evidence, you just can't slap an age on something.  Not sure what any of this has to do with the age of the Earth itself anyway, since this is about the galaxy in general, not one small planet within it.  Are you seriously suggesting that some "young universe" viewpoint is the only acceptable one? --[[User:BMcP|BMcP]] 21:43, 24 November 2009 (EST)

Not at all!  You're free to make whatever edits you like.  I'm just pointing out that there are people who will disagree with you, who DO believe in a young universe, and their views are welcome here. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 21:47, 24 November 2009 (EST)
