Not speculation but approximate ages based on evidence.
"Approximate" is still speculation, still guess work.

Exactly. The facts of science are the observations that are explained by tested theories.
Tell that to the numerous anti-religion idiots who spew forth on boards such as this or on news shows proclaiming to the world how evolution is "fact" - even though none of them have actually observed one species evolving into another.

Indeed. Science observes facts and offers tested explanations. Religion assumes the conclusions and rejects facts that disagree.
Is it really "facts" that science observes or is it phenomena that science observes? Oh, and if you're going to make statements about religion, you damned well had better get it right! Religion doesn't ASSUME anything and it doesn't reject "facts."
