Does god exist? Do I believe what's right? Is the Bible true, or mostly true, or a little true? These are philosophical questions, and only you can answer those questions for yourself.

That's a good way of putting it. Time can have both a scientific and a philisophical measurement. They just can't be used together. Time flies when you're having fun but the clock will tell you different.
So how many scientific units has the universe been around for? 4.5 billion.
How many Religious units has the universe been around for? Depends on your beliefs.
Using the latter to answer the former doesn't make sense.
