    Who am I to judge? Someone who can read. I already gave you a link, but I'll humor you:

    Emphasis:
    Ergo, for 380,000 years, there were no atoms.

    Is your point about stars seeming to predate the accepted age of the universe or something else?

    There are other mysteries like black holes, dark matter, dark energy...

    If you look at the error bars on that star's age and those of the age of the Universe you will see they overlap.

    You name it things in space are not very verifiably, because time and distances.

    Yes along those lines, there are a lot of speculation. What is dark matter ? dark energy ?

    It was incorrect. At the immediate beginning, it was a 'quark soup' [plasma] which lasted for some .01ms. After that, neutrons & protons began to condense out of the plasma. Nuclei didn't begin to form until 100 seconds in, then atoms began forming around 300K years in, followed by first generation stars @ around 300M years.http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/files/2012/02/age_of_the_universe.jpeg

    You can't have any of your stuff until a lot later than you think.

    If the error bars overlap then there are three possibilities, two of which are more unlikely than the third.

    1)the stars are older than the Universe.
    2)the stars are the same age as the Universe
    3)the stars are younger than the Universe.
