The size and age of all...

If you think believing in God is a stretch, try wrapping your head around the fact that we are but a tiny speck in an expanding universe that is 13.8 billion years old and the observable parts of it are 46 billion light years away.  The good news is accepting Christ is all you have to do to know God is real...a lot easier than accepting the size and age of where He placed us...

"observable parts of it are 46 billion light years away" implies that the universe is more than 46 billion years old; > 13.8 billion years old.

No. Light years are a measurement of distance, not time. If the universe is growing that means parts are moving away from each other. A 14 billion year old universe could easily have such great distances between its galaxies.

I stand corrected.
