One step in determining some minimum age for our universe would be to find out how big our local neighborhood is.
​
Our solar system, the backyard, is only one yard in the neighborhood of our galaxy, so how big is the galaxy?
​
Once we know the size of the neighborhood, the next question is "Where are we in relation to the center of the neighborhood?"

As it stands this seems to be a perfect candidate for the Big bang and Cosmology forum to me. If you feel this is particularly relevant to the Accuracy and inerrancy forum could you try and frame your OP with that in mind?
