The universe is THOUGHT to be 13.8 billion years old. Rather the consensus is that the universe is 13.8 billion years old.
Why are people so afraid to qualify statements like this? Do they genuinely think it's settled? Is it thought to reduce the reporting to an intolerable level of low credibility for the masses? It reduces the credibility for me when they fail to qualify these types of statements of fact.
