How can you possibly believe that the universe was
9 billion years old in earth years before earth
years even existed? We *are* living just after the
big bang.

I can be a bit dense, yanno?

Could you elaborate a bit ... I lost you somewhere? I mean I understand
time could not be measured in earth years before the earth existed ...
but after it did exist (and we invented time based on its' spinning)
can't we just extrapolate backwards? Or, what?
